Well I’ve been runnin’ since I was child Runnin’ like a river after the rains have died Ain’t never had one place to call my home Lay my head in a different place unknown
I wake up early, and I wake up late But I never had time to hesitate I pick up my paper, and I pick up my bread There’s room on the road ahead
I don’t want no country to call my own I don’t need one place to call my home There ain’t no one place or people are that are better or worse I’m a man of the universe
Like a good strong flowing river that’s never been dammed Never had to change never had no plan To collect too much wealth, it’s a curse We never had the sense to change, what’s worse
Never needed no land, never need no borders Never needed to stay in one place to count up pennies or quarters Never had enough of them to put in my own purse I’m a man of the universe
I don’t want no country to call my own I don’t need one place to call my home There ain’t no one place or people that are that are better or worse I’m a man of the universe, yeah Yeah
I don’t want no country to call my own I don’t need one place to call my home There ain’t no one place or people are that are better or worse I’m a man of the universe I don’t want no country to call my own I don’t need one place to call my home There ain’t no one place or people are that are better or worse I’m a man of the universe I’m a man of the universe I’m a man of the universe
I’m not from here, not from here I don’t need, don’t need no fences Pull a rope around me Whoa Yea-yeah I don’t need Yeah
