I gave a lover, my heart
Jesus, my soul
Left my mind up for wonderin' and my spirit to the road

I got one taste of freedom
Running through my veins
I was saved in the Rockies baptized in the Pontchartrain

When I get lost in the wheels you go on and say goodbye
I can't seem to settle down (lord) so I don't even try

See, I'm drawn to the secrets of them breezed right through em' towns
Where there's old men at the courthouse
And the kids don't hang around
They don't want my kind of speed, so I'll let them horses run
I'm just an around about cowboy, gunnin for the sun

When I get lost in the wheels you go on and say goodbye
I can't seem to settle down (lord) so I don't even try

I gave a lover, my heart
Jesus, my soul
Left my mind up for wanderin' and my spirit to the road
