[Verse 1]

I left my home and family

To seek my fortune fair

I went north into the city

But I didn't find it there

Met a million women

No two were the same

If I had only met the one

That I'd let have my name

[Verse 2]

All alone on a lonesome, desert highway

My best laid plans had failed

I put my face in a woman

And I wound up in jail

Love, she was a-holding

And I chose to take the blame

I was in and she was gone

But loved her just the same

[Verse 3]

I've seen a lot of country

And I moved from place to place

I don't remember names

But I can't forget her face

It's not a place that I been to

That I could call my home

An' I can't hope to settle down

Down seems I'm meant to roam

[Chorus]

All those years spent searching for something

Goin' around the bend

All I ever wanted

Was to see her again, yeah

[Verse 4]

On a go for California

I slept out on the sand

I drove the coastal highways

I drive them all again

An' if you aim to find me

I'll be out on the track

This maybe the last to seeing me

No, we won't be coming back
