I've got a restless spirit and a ramblin' heart
And an achin' to be free
Been up on the mountaintop, been down on my knees
She's the kind of woman I've always loved
No strings to tie me down
Nothin' she could ever do or say would ever turn my head around
I've been to Colorado, scaled the Rocky heights
Hauled out on some fishin' boat, I've seen the northern lights
Don't ask me what I'm lookin' for, if I knew I'd settle down
There's always some place I've not seen a road I've not been down

Thumbin' down to Baltimore
Half drunk in freezin' rain
Ten more miles to the county line and I'll catch a southbound train
It's fare-thee-well, I'm on my way
Down a thousand windin' roads
I could hang my hat most any place, but I could never call it home
I came to ol' Montana to learn a cowboy's trade
Seen the Cliffs of Dover and I've sailed the Spanish Main
Don't ask me what I'm lookin' for; if I knew, I'd settle down
There's always some place I've not seen, a road I've not been down
