[Verse 1]
I left my home and family
To seek my fortune fair
I went north into the city
But I didn't find it there
Met a million women
No two were the same
If I had only met the one
That I'd let have my name
[Verse 2]
All alone on a lonesome, desert highway
My best laid plans had failed
I put my face in a woman
And I wound up in jail
Love, she was a-holding
And I chose to take the blame
I was in and she was gone
But loved her just the same
[Verse 3]
I've seen a lot of country
And I moved from place to place
I don't remember names
But I can't forget her face
It's not a place that I been to
That I could call my home
An' I can't hope to settle down
Down seems I'm meant to roam
I left my home and family
To seek my fortune fair
I went north into the city
But I didn't find it there
Met a million women
No two were the same
If I had only met the one
That I'd let have my name
[Verse 2]
All alone on a lonesome, desert highway
My best laid plans had failed
I put my face in a woman
And I wound up in jail
Love, she was a-holding
And I chose to take the blame
I was in and she was gone
But loved her just the same
[Verse 3]
I've seen a lot of country
And I moved from place to place
I don't remember names
But I can't forget her face
It's not a place that I been to
That I could call my home
An' I can't hope to settle down
Down seems I'm meant to roam
