I'll go and stay a while And all the folks I meet They'll say, "You won't stay long, You got them travellin' feet You'll soon be long-gone, 'Cause boy, you got the rest of the world blues."

Across the world People and places (people and places) Everywhere I've been. Across the world (across the world) People and places (people and places) Could be the same (everywhere I've been), But you know, it's got a different name. Across the world People and places Everywhere I've been...
