Traveling 'round to another town, could be in my mind,
it could be on the ground
Doesn't matter where I go as long as I'm leaving

Like a ship that sails for another port
Like a poor boy's dreams that are always coming up short
Yeah that's how I'm leaving


Got no money but I got some fears
and I don't know why you've stayed with me all these years


I'm such a nomad, nomad, nomad baby
It's made you so sad, so sad, so sad lately


When the good Lord placed me in my mother's womb
He must have placed in me a drive so all-consuming

Yeah I'm hungering for more, always needing
Needing to find a deeper mystery
craving for meaning that robs me of consistency

Yeah I'm here and then I'm gone, always leaving

Please don't take it so personal

It's the way my mind works, the way my world turns

I'm such a nomad, nomad nomad baby

It's made you so sad, so sad, so sad lately
and I'm sorry
