I was born under a wand'rin star
I was born under a wand'rin star
Wheels are made for rollin, mules are made to pack
I've never seen a sight that didn't look better lookin' back
I was born under a wand'rin star
Mud can make you prisoner and the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes but only people make you cry
Home is made for coming from, for dreams of going to
Which with any luck will never come true
I was born under a wand'rin star
I was born under a wand'rin star
Do I know where hell is? Hell is in hello
Heaven is goodby forever it's time for me to go
I was born under a wand'rin star
A wand'rin star
(Mud can make you prisoner, and the plains can bake you dry)
(Snow can burn your eyes but only people make you cry)
(Home is made for coming from, for dreams dreams of going to)
(Which with any luck will never comes true)
(I was born under a wand'rin star)
(I was born under a wand'rin star)
When I go to heaven tie me to a tree
For I'll begin to roam, and soon you'll know where I will be
I was born under a wand'rin star
A wondering wondering star
