Lyrics

[Verse 1]

By the look in your eye, I can tell you're gonna cry

Is it over me?

If it is, save your tears, for I'm not worth it, you see

For I'm the type of boy who is always on the run

Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home

I'm tellin' you, that's my home

[Verse 2]

You had romance

Did you break it, by chance, over me?

If it's so, I'd like for you to know that I'm not worth it, you see

For I'm the type of boy who is always on the run

Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home

That's my home

[Verse 3]

Oh, you keep tellin' me, you keep tellin' me

I'm your man

What do I have to do to make you understand?

[Verse 4]

For I'm the type of guy who gives a girl the eye, everybody knows

But I love them and I leave them, break their hearts and deceive them

Everywhere I go

[Verse 5]

Don't you know that I'm the type of man who is always on the run?

Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home

Wherever I lay my hat, oh, that's my home

Yeah, that's my home

And I like it that way

[Verse 6]

You know I can't make it all alone

Sometimes that's the way, that's the way

I'm not sayin', I'm not sayin' I don't love you

Just gotta do what I want to do

That's what I want to do

I'm not sayin' you don't mean nothin' to me

I'm not saying, no, no, I just don't want it that way

Oh, I have to go my own way

Tell me, I'll just walk away
