Now Columbus and Pat, they liked a bit of that when they pulled their boats out in the sea,
Determined they would go wherever the wild wind blows ' I trust the good Lord does the same for me.

I got a heart for the travelling, a heart for the rambling,
I smile when I hear that engine sound,
I got a heart for the roving, a heart for the droving,
But I don't have the heart to settle down, boys,
I don't have the heart to settle down.

Well, you never know the day good fortune comes your way or something changes everything you know,
The smile on someone's face, the vibe about a place, can be better than a fortune made of gold.

I got a heart for the travelling, a heart for the rambling,
I smile when I hear that engine sound,
I got a heart for the roving, a heart for the droving,
But I don't have the heart to settle down, boys,
I don't have the heart to settle down.

I got a heart for the travelling, a heart for the rambling,

I don't have the heart to settle down.
