Wand'rin' Star lyrics

I was born under a wand'rin' star

I was born under a wand'rin' star

Wheels are made for rolling,

Mules are made to pack

I've never seen a sight

That didn't look better looking back

I was born under a wand'rin' star

Mud can make you prisoner

And the plains can bake you dry

Snow can burn your eyes,

But only people make you cry

Home is made for coming from,

For dreams of going to

Which with any luck

Will never come true

I was born under a wand'rin' star

I was born under a wand'rin' star

Do I know where hell is?

Hell is in hello

Heaven is goodbye forever,

It's time for me to go

I was born under a wand'rin' star

A wand'rin', wand'rin' star

[Chorus:]

        Mud can make you prisoner

        And the plains can bake you dry

        Snow can burn your eyes,

        But only people make you cry

        Home is made for coming from,

        For dreams of going to

        Which with any luck

        Will never come true

        I was born under a wand'rin' star

        I was born under a wand'rin' star

When I get to heaven,

Tie me to a tree

For I'll begin to roam

And soon you'll know where I will be

I was born under a wand'rin' star

A wand'rin', wand'rin' star
