I never wanted a place to rest my head
I never wanted to darken any door
I never wanted to put down any roots
I just wanted to be a troubadour
I wanted to sing in bars around the world
I wanted to bed down in brothels with whores
I wanted to dodge the daily grind
I just wanted to be a troubadour
CHORUS
And looking back I have done all that
I traded everything for a song
I didn't expect so many regrets
But it's too late to right that wrong
Instead of resting my bones at home
They're still rattling down the road
And when I pass take my body outside
Strip me naked as the day I was born
And sing this song I sing to you right now
I just wanted to be a troubadour
