  • Lyrics: When I was younger, called myself a gypsy It�s a lovely name for a rambling boy. And as I grew older, my trips grew bolder Called myself a traveling man. That traveling life�s not for everyone Lost lots of friends along the way But moving on has always suited me Or maybe I�ve just never learned how to stay But the road calls me I can hear it Singing so sweetly The road calls me I can feel it Tugging at my bones � they want to be free But after you turn fifty Words like gypsy No longer have that romantic ring They call a man a drifter When he�s that old and still wandering When I came back to the country where I was born The only place I call home these days The greeting I got was heartfelt and warm People asked how I could have stayed away Well I like lots of things in this new/old place And it changed a lot while I was away Yes I find lots to like in this old land But that don�t mean I�ll stay So when it�s all said and done, guess I am a gypsy A rambler, a wander and a drifter too Pick any old label, it can�t hurt me Traveling is just what I do That traveling life�s not for everyone Lost lots of friends along the way But moving on has always suited me Or maybe I�ve just never learned how to stay
