The Wanderer
The Wandering Heart: Embracing Life's Endless Journey
Lyrics
Oh well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Expressing a commitment to a lifestyle without settling down.
Where pretty girls are, well you know that I'm around
Wherever there are attractive women, the speaker is present.
I kiss 'em and I love 'em cause to me they're all the same
Indifferent attitude towards romantic involvement, treating all women similarly.
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name
Engaging physically with women, but they remain unaware of the speaker's identity.
They call me the wanderer
Self-identification as "the wanderer."
Yeah, the wanderer
Reiteration of being "the wanderer."
I roam around, around, around
Emphasizing the continuous roaming lifestyle.
Oh well, there's Flo on my left and then there's Mary on my right
Listing multiple women in the speaker's life.
And Janie is the girl well that I'll be with tonight
Pointing out a specific girl, Janie, as the current companion.
And when she asks me, which one I love the best?
Responding humorously to the question of which girl the speaker loves the most.
I tear open my shirt and I show "Rosie" on my chest
Symbolic act of loyalty by revealing a name on the speaker's chest.
Cause I'm the wanderer
Reiteration of being "the wanderer."
Yeah, the wanderer
Reaffirming the identity as "the wanderer."
I roam around, around, around
Emphasizing the continuous roaming lifestyle.
Oh well, I roam from town to town
Expressing the constant movement from place to place.
I go through life without a care
Living carefree, but the speaker acknowledges a lack of progress.
And I'm as happy as a clown
Despite the carefree attitude, the speaker acknowledges a sense of stagnation.
I with my two fists of iron but I'm going nowhere
Describing physical strength but a sense of aimlessness.
Oh yeah, I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
Expressing a preference for a wandering lifestyle.
I'm never in one place, I roam from town to town
Reiterating the constant movement and lack of a fixed residence.
And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl
Describing the impulse to travel when falling for someone.
Yeah, I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world
Using a car as a symbol of mobility to pursue romantic interests globally.
Yeah I'm the wanderer
Reiteration of being "the wanderer."
Yeah, the wanderer
Reaffirming the identity as "the wanderer."
I roam around, around, around
Emphasizing the continuous roaming lifestyle.
Oh yeah, I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
Reiterating the preference for a wandering lifestyle.
I'm never in one place, I roam from town to town
Reiterating the constant movement and lack of a fixed residence.
And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl
Describing the impulse to travel when falling for someone.
I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world
Using a car as a symbol of mobility to pursue romantic interests globally.
Yeah, cause I'm a wanderer
Reiteration of being "the wanderer."
Yeah, a wanderer
Reaffirming the identity as "the wanderer."
I roam around, around, around, around, around, around
Emphasizing the continuous roaming lifestyle.
Cause I'm a wanderer
Reiteration of being "the wanderer."
Yeah, a wanderer
Reaffirming the identity as "the wanderer."
I roam around, around, around, around, around, around, around
Emphasizing the continuous roaming lifestyle.
Cause I'm a wanderer
Reiteration of being "the wanderer."
I'm, a wanderer
Reaffirming the identity as "the wanderer."
I roam around, around, around, around
Emphasizing the continuous roaming lifestyle.
