I have been a rover 
I have walked alone 
Hiked a hundred highways 
Never found a home 
Still in all I'm happy 
The reason is, you see 
Once in a while, along the way 
Love's been good to me

There was a girl in Denver 
Before the summer storm 
Oh, her eyes were tender 
Oh, her arms were warm 
And she could smile away the thunder 
Kiss away the rain 
Even though she's gone away 
You won't hear me complain 
I have been a rover

I have walked alone 
Hiked a hundred highways 
Never found a home 
Still in all I'm happy 
The reason is, you see 
Once in a while, along the way 
Love's been good to me

There was a girl in Portland 
Before the winter chill 
We used to go a-courtin' 
Along October hill 
And she could laugh away the dark clouds 
Cry away the snow 
It seems like only yesterday 
As down the road I go 

I've been a rover 
I have walked alone 
Hiked a hundred highways 
Never found a home 
Still in all I'm happy 
The reason is, you see 
Once in a while, along the way 
Love's been good to me
