I was born on a windy day
Saw the wind blow my Pappy away
Mama cussed and began to cry
She said boy I see your Daddies eyes
Preacher come a knocking on our door
Said I’ve seen his kind before
Ain’t no heart just a big black hole
The boy is born with a wandering soul
I’ve got a wandering soul
I’ve got a wandering soul
Someday I’ll settle down
Six feet in the ground
Started school learned to read and write
Spent my time watching stars at night
Somehow I knew that I had to go
Anywhere that the wind would blow
Jumped a train never looking back
Slept in barns and railroad shacks
Kept a walking ‘though my feet were cold
‘Cause I was born with a wandering soul
I’ve got a wandering soul
I’ve got a wandering soul
Someday I’ll settle down
Six feet in the ground
Only one true friend I’ve got
Is the wind and it blows a lot
Gives me wings when I need to fly
Brings me down when I’m way up high
But I know I know my time will come
Someday I’ll face my setting sun
All I want written on my stone
Here lies a boy with a wandering soul
I’ve got a wandering soul
I’ve got a wandering soul
Someday I’ll settle down
Six feet in the ground
