I was born with a dark cloud above me,
A longing deep in my soul.
I was raised up right and I know my momma loved me,
But I begged her to let me go.
chorus
I said, the grass is greener on the other side.
Somewhere there's a bluer sky.
I won't stop runnin' 'til I'm satisfied,
And if wishes were horses, I would ride, ride, ride.
You know I love you, my true companion.
You've been my lifelong friend.
But there's a hunger inside me, that I can't abandon,
'Til I see what's around the bend.
Now I've been a rogue, and I've been a rambler,
I know too well my sins.
I've the faith of a saint but the soul of a gambler,
And a heart like the restless wind.
