Lyrics

[Verse 1]
By the look in your eye, I can tell you're gonna cry
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears, for I'm not worth it, you see
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the run
Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home
I'm tellin' you, that's my home
[Verse 2]
You had romance
Did you break it, by chance, over me?
If it's so, I'd like for you to know that I'm not worth it, you see
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the run
Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home
That's my home
[Verse 3]
Oh, you keep tellin' me, you keep tellin' me
I'm your man
What do I have to do to make you understand?
[Verse 4]
For I'm the type of guy who gives a girl the eye, everybody knows
But I love them and I leave them, break their hearts and deceive them
Everywhere I go
[Verse 5]
Don't you know that I'm the type of man who is always on the run?
Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home
Wherever I lay my hat, oh, that's my home
Yeah, that's my home
And I like it that way
[Verse 6]
You know I can't make it all alone
Sometimes that's the way, that's the way
I'm not sayin', I'm not sayin' I don't love you
Just gotta do what I want to do
That's what I want to do
I'm not sayin' you don't mean nothin' to me
I'm not saying, no, no, I just don't want it that way
Oh, I have to go my own way
Tell me, I'll just walk away
