Wherever I May Roam (Live) Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
And the road becomes my bride
And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need
And the dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

[Chorus 1]
But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
Redefine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home, yeah

[Verse 2]
The Earth become my throne
And the Earth become my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I have grown
By myself but not alone
(I ask no one)
And my ties are severed clean
The less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign
Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will
[Chorus 2]
But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
I do my time anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home, let's go

[Chorus 3]
But I'll take my time anywhere
Hey, I'm free to speak my mind
I'll do my time anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home, that's right

[Guitar Solo]
Right here in San Francisco!

[Chorus 4]
But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
I redefine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
Carved upon my stone
My body lies, but still I roam, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam
Ooh, yeah, wherever I may wander
Wander, wander
Wherever I may roam
Ha, ha!

Huy!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
