Wandering lyrics by James Taylor

James Taylor
WANDERING

I've been wandering
early and late from
New York City
to the Golden Gate
and it don't look like I'll
ever stop my wandering

My daddy was an engineer,
my brother drives a hack,
my sister takes in laundry
while the baby balls the jack,
and it don't look like I'll
ever stop my wandering

I've been in the army,
I've worked on a farm
and all I've got to show
is the muscle in my arm
and it don't look like I'll
ever stop my wandering

My mama, she died
when I was young,
my daddy took to stealing
and he got hung,
and it don't look like I'll
ever stop my wandering

Snakes in the ocean,
eels in the sea,
I let a red~headed woman
make a fool out of me,
and it don't look like I'll
ever stop my wandering

Oh, I've been wandering
early and late from the
New York City
to the Golden Gate,
and it don't look like I'll
ever stop my wandering
No, it don't look like I'll
ever stop my wandering
