Going to take a journey, as far as I can sing pack my things into a bag, and leave round three Bid farewell to my friends, say "I'll be home, soon" Nor will they see the truth
Gonna ride from place to place Nothing left of me, no trace
Find a place to stay, and there I'll settle down With a shop or two, the people'll call their town Build a house within the hills, with my bare hands Buy a horse to ride me through the barren lands
Gonna ride from place to place Where the sun shines bright Nothing left of me, no trace Nothing left of me, no trace, yeah Nothing left of me, no trace Nothing left of me no trace
I will wake to the sounds of birds Calling me they'll be no-one else to see And find me, and hold me till morning comes
Wouldn't it be nice to be a bird and fly? Leave in winter days, return for summer light I will build the home where you and I can stay Till you reach my soul its in this hill I'll stay
Gonna ride from place to place Nothing left of me, no trace Nothing left of me, no trace, yeah Nothing left of me, no trace Where the sun shines bright Nothing left of me no trace
