Shakey Graves - Built to Roam lyrics

rate me

This easy living, it sure tastes good

Let's make a killing down in Hollywood

Then buy ourselves some nice, fancy home in the hills

Oh, spend our time spending ten dollar bills

Watch out, 'cause here I come

Bored and lazy

Here I come

No dignity

So long, sad city of angels

Oh, you ain't been very good to me

You take that blood right from my body

You leave me far away from home

Well, I've got to keep on moving

'Cause I was built to roam

But New York City,

I'll see you soon

Spend all my money on some elbow room

Wander around like I got someplace fancy to go

I'm the king of Brooklyn for all she knows

Sit back and watch me go,

Bored and lazy

Watch me go;

Just passing through

Follow me beyond the mountains

Go howl at the ol' big moon

Strip them clothes right from your body

Dress your skin in sticks and stones

It doesn't matter where we're headed

'Cause some of us were built to roam

We were built to roam
