Free and easy, that's my style
Howdydo me, watch me smile
But fare the well me after a while
'Cause I gotta roam
And any place I hang my hat is home.
Sweetenin' water, cherry wine
Thank you kindly, suits me fine
Kansas City, Caroline
That's my honeycomb
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
Bridge
Birds roostin' in a tree
Pick up and go, and the goin' proves
That's how it oughta to be
I pick up, too, when the spirit moves me
Cross the river, 'round the bend
"Hello stranger!" "So long friend"
There's a voice in the lonesome wind
That keeps whis - p'ring, "Roam"
I'm going where a welcome mat is
No matter where that is
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
