    Man With No Country

    (Written by Jim Capaldi)

    Man with no country
    Just a guitar and a love that he sung
    (he only wants to see)

    Man with no country
    walking along down long dusty roads
    (he wants to stay ahead of everything)

    He’s got to see new horizons each day
    He’ll never stay

    Man with no country
    Looks up and sees birds in the sky
    (he wants to be so free to fly high)

    Man with no country
    Never looks back to that place that he’s coming from
    (something inside him always moving on)

    Though he’ll remember the moments of making new friends each day
    Still he won’t stay

    Man with no country
    Comes into town and looks for a bar
    (somwehere that he can play his acoustic guitar)

    The girl at a moment sees him and says “I’d like the way that you
    touch the strings
    come play with me I’ll give you everything”

    But he’s such in other things that will set him so free
    (that’s the way he knows it’s got to be)
    And heaven is a long long way from where he stands
    He’s a very lonely man

    But he’s such in other things that will set him so free
    (that’s the way he knows it’s got to be)
    It’s gotta be
    And heaven is a long long way from where he stands
    He’s a very lonely man

    Ohhhhhh
    Man with no country
    Yeah
    Man with no country
    Ohhhhhh
    Man with no country
    Ohhhhhh
    Man with no country
    Uhhhhhh Yeh Yeh Yeh
    Man with no country

    Lalalalala
    Lalalalala
    Lalalalala
    Lalalalala
    Uhhhh
