Gallivantin': To roam about capriciously

Gallivantin'

There's a chill in the air
and change on the winds
storm clouds gatherin'
where the sky begins
and the comforts I've found
become dreams in the night
and before long it will be rainin'
guess it's time to get back
to gallivantin'

(chorus)
Now it might seem to you
like I'm doin' nothin'
well nothin' could be further from the truth
cause it's plain to see
that this old dog and me
got loafin' down to an art
and it takes years of dedication
to get it right
the horizon's just some place I ain't been yet
and tomorrows just become yesterdays
so buddy we're not doin' nothin'
we're gallivantin'

There ain't nothin' colder
than a box car in maine
maybe a woman,
with nothin' to gain
a big citys mean
small towns are lonely
and roads leadin' in, soon become roads leavin'
when it's time to get back
to gallivantin'

(chorus)
Now it might seem to you
like I'm doin' nothin'
well nothin' could be further from the truth
cause it's plain to see
that this old dog and me
got loafin' down to an art
and it takes years of dedication
to get it right
the horizon's just some place I ain't been yet
and tomorrow's just become yesterdays
so buddy we're not doin' nothin'
we're gallivantin'
