[Verse 1]
I'm just a roustabout
Shifting from town to town
No job can hold me down, I'm just a knock-around guy
There's a lot of space beneath that sky
Till I find my place there's no doubt
I'll be a roving' roustabout
[Verse 2]
Call me the carefree kind
I wander with the breeze
My mind and heart's at ease
Doing what pleases me best
Gotta keep-a movin' east or west
Till I find my place there's no doubt
I'll be a roving' roustabout
[Bridge]
And even if a pretty girl, should catch my eye
I'll give her a quick "hello", and a fast goodbye
[Verse 3]
I'll go the way I want
Drifting' just like the sand
Doing' what job I can
Changing my plans as I choose
Long as I keep happy I can't lose
Till I find my place there's no doubt
I'll be a roving' roustabout
[Outro]
I'll be a roving' roustabout, I'll be a roving' roustabout
I'll be a roving' roustabout, Rovin', Rovin' roustabout
