[Verse 1] Let me tell you a story, of a man I once knew Boots full of miles, coat faded through Stick in his hand, satchel on his back Never stayed long, never left a track [Pre-Chorus] Buy him a coffee, slip him a dime He’ll hand you a story that’ll shift your mind [Chorus] He’s a vagabond, rambling on Like a shadow at dawn Here for a heartbeat, then he’s gone Just a vagabond, rambling on [Verse 2] One dollar’s enough, and he’ll change your life With tales of the mountains, and loves left behind Words like a preacher, but no church in sight Just a drifting soul under neon light [Pre-Chorus] He don’t want riches, don’t want a home Just the road in his blood, and a tale to be told [Chorus] He’s a vagabond, rambling on Like a half-faded song Here for a night, then by morning he’s gone Just a vagabond, rambling on [Bridge] Some say he’s broken, some say he’s free Some say he’s bound for eternity But I just remember the sound of his song And the way it still lingers when he’s long moved on [Final Chorus] He’s a vagabond, rambling on From the dusk to the dawn Give him a dollar, he’ll give you a song Just a vagabond, rambling on [Outro] (spoken, soft) Let me tell you a story… Of a man who could never stay too long.
