Well I've been running since I was a child Running like a river after the rains have died Ain't never had one place to call my home Lay my head in a different place unknown I wake up early and I wake up late But I never had time to hesitate I pick up my paper and I pick up my bread There's room on the road ahead And I don't want no country to call my own I don't need one place to call my home There ain't no one place or people that are better or worse I'm a man of the universe Yeah Like a good strong flowing river that's never been dammed Never had to change never had to plan To collect too much wealth, it's a curse We never had the sense to change, what's worse Never needed no land, never needed no borders Never needed to stay in one place and count up pennies or quarters Never had enough of them to put in my own purse I'm a man of the universe But I don't want no country to call my own I don't need one place to call my home There ain't no one place or people that are better or worse I'm a man of the universe, yeah Yeah, yeah ♪ But I don't want no country to call my own I don't need one place to call my home There ain't no one place or people that are better or worse I'm a man of the universe But I don't want no country to call my own I don't need one place to call my home There ain't no one place or people that are better or worse I'm a man of the universe I'm a man of the universe I'm a man of the universe And I'm not from here Not from here I'm a man I don't need no fences To pull a rope around me Woah-woah, yeah, yeah I don't need, yeah
