I have been a rover I have walked alone Hiked a hundred highways Never found a way Still, in all I'm happy The reason is, you see Once in a while, along the way Love's been good to me There was a girl in Denver Before the summer storm And oh, her eyes were tender And oh, her arms were warm And she could smile away the thunder And kiss away the rain Even though she's gone away You won't hear me complain I have been a rover I have walked alone Hiked a hundred highways Never found a way Still, in all I'm happy The reason is, you see Once in a while, along the way Love's been good to me There was a girl in Portland Before the winter chill We used to be a-courting Along October Hill And she could laugh away the dark clouds And cry away the snow It seems like only yesteryear As down the road I go I have been a rover I have walked alone Hiked a hundred highways Never found a way Still, in all I'm happy The reason is, you see Once in a while, along the way Love's been good to me
