I'll wander back to you

They say I'm like my daddy always on the roam
I know he love my mama but he couldn't stay at home
I vowed to not be like him but somewhere I went wrong
Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere and the girl I love at home
One of these days I'm gonna quit my wandering
One of these days I'll wander back to you

My sweetheart writes me letters they find me now and then
I've send her funny postcards to show her where I've been
She always writes I love you though we're miles apart
But none of funny postcards can't say what's in my heart
One of these days...

I feel the cold winds blowing blowing up a storm
I go to sleep and I always dream that you're here in my arms
And then a lonesome whistle starts blowin' down the line
Wake up boy my buddy says we're a long way from Caroline
One of these days...
One of these days I'll wander back to you
