I'm just a roustabout
Shifted from town to town
No job can hold me down, I'm just a knock-around guy

There's a lot of space beneath that sky
Till I find my place there's no doubt...
I'll be a rovin' roustabout


Call me the carefree kind
I wander with the breeze

My mind and heart's at ease
Doing what pleases me best
Gotta keep-a movin' east or west

Till I find my place there's no doubt
I'll be a rovin' roustabout


And even if a pretty girl, should catch my eye
I'll give her a quick "hello", and a fast goodbye


I'll go the way I want
Driftin' just like the sand
Doin' what job I can

Changing my plans as I choose
Long as I keep happy I can't lose
Till I find my place there's no doubt

I'll be a rovin' roustabout

I'll be a rovin' roustabout...I'll be a rovin' roustabout


I'll be a rovin' roustabout..rovin', rovin' roustabout....
