Am 
I like digging holes and hiding things inside them 
When I'll grow old I hope I won't forget to find them 
Dm                           F           G              Am 
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night 
Am 
I built a home and wait for someone to tear it down 
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running 
Dm                           F           G              Am 
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night 
      Dm 
And a thousand times I've seen this road 
  F      G 
A thousand times 

Am 
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground 
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I like standing still, boy that's just a wishful plan 
Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land 
Dm                        F           G              Am 
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night 
Am 
I can't get the numbers, and play the guessing name 
It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same 
Dm                        F           G              Am 
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I've seen this road,

A thousand times
