Song Lyrics

By the look in your eye I can tell you're gonna cry
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
For I'm not worth it, you see

For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam,
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
I'm telling you that's my home
You had romance, did you break it by chance

Over me?
If it's so I'd like for you to know
That I'm not worth it, you see
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam, mm

Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
Mm, that's my home
Oh, you keep telling me, you keep telling me I'm your man
What do I have to do to make you understand?

For I'm the type of guy who gives girl the eye
Everybody knows.
But I love them and I leave them
Break their hearts and deceive them everywhere I go

Don't you know that I'm the type of man who is always on the roam
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
Wherever I lay my hat, oh oh, that's my home, mm yeh
That's my home

And I like it that way
And I'm telling you that I don't mind coming home
You know I can't make it all alone, but sometimes that's the way, that's the way
I'm not saying
I'm not saying I don't love you
Just got to do what I want to do
That's what I want to do
I feel so cold, oh, I got to go
But I'm not saying
You don't mean nothing to me
I'm not saying, no, no, no
No - I just want my way
You're everything a man could want
But sometimes
Oh, I have to go my own way
