I've had some wild times I seem to recall
It was only by luck that I lived through them all
If I could return to all the wild ways
I would give up the whiskey it led me astray
And there's no doubt about it
There's no doubt I'd do it the same
If I could go back and start over
I'd do it all over again
I once loved a girl and I loved her so well
We planned to get married the truth I will tell
But I was a rover and restless to leave
And she found another far better than me
And there's no doubt about it
There's no doubt I'd do it the same
If I could go back and start over
I'd do it all over again
Wherever I rambled I never could find
Answers to help ease my troubling mind
Everyone's searching for something it seems
So I'll keep on roving and chasing me dreams
And there's no doubt about it
There's no doubt I'd do it the same
If I could go back and start over
I'd do it all over again
I work when I can as I ramble along
I can sing for me supper I'm good with a song
I have no life savings me prospects are dim
For I spend it as fast as the money comes in
And there's no doubt about it
There's no doubt I'd do it the same
If I could go back and start over
I'd do it all over again
And there's no doubt about it
There's no doubt I'd do it the same
If I could go back and start over
I'd do it all over again
There's some people think that my habits are strange
Maybe they're right but I'll never change
So I'll stick to the roving whatever will be
And perhaps some day fate will take pity on me
And there's no doubt about it
There's no doubt I'd do it the same
If I could go back and start over
I'd do it all over again
And there's no doubt about it
There's no doubt I'd do it the same
If I could go back and start over
I'd do it all over again
And I'd do it exactly the same
