I was born a restless man,
I do my living where I can
An d any road or highway is my home
Here today and gone tomorrow,
keeping just ahead of sorrow
Knowing I was born to die alone
Left my home when I was ten to
And then to learn about some
Labor crews and gandhi dancers
Taught me questions without answers
I'll learn less the farther on I go
Callin' me away to travel on
The day I die, I know that I will be alone
I go with the memory of the many
I've had the chance to taste
Love's a pleasant way of dying
I believe I'm born to die alone
Nights I've drifted on the river
Gazing at the stars so far above
And in the dark that is their home
Life is like a lonely river
Drifting on it into never
An d like every star I'm alone
Here the sea of my destiny is calling me,
calling me away to travel on, the day I die
I know that I will be alone.
