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

[Verse 1]
There was a girl in Denver
Before the summer storm
Oh, her eyes were tender
And oh, her arms were warm
And she could smile away the thunder
And then kiss away the rain
Even though she's gone away
Won't hear me complain

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

[Verse 2]
There was a girl in Portland
Before the winter chill
We used to go a-courting
Along October hill
And she could laugh away the dark clouds
Cry away the snow
It seems like only yesterday
Is down the road I go

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