Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I was born in New York City
Raised in the Sunshine State
And I met a boy from Georgia
And we set a wedding date
Now my heart beats for the drummer
Yeah, there's no sign of slowing down
Together we sing for our supper
Every night, a different town, singing
Maybe I was made to wander
Maybe I was born to roam
But, baby, as long as you're with me
I am home, I am home
Sometimes it feels like Starbucks
Is my permanent address
And my kids are frequent fliers
They've been north and south, east and west, 'cause
Maybe I was made to wander
Maybe I was born to roam
But, baby, as long as you're with me
I am home, I am home
Rolling from city to city
Out on the open road
Baby, as long as you're with me
I am home, I am home
We bought a house in Nashville
Said maybe we should put down roots
This life is a great big adventure
And I thank God we get to do what we do, 'cause
Maybe I was made to wander
Maybe I was born to roam
But, baby, as long as you're with me
I am home, I am home
Rolling from city to city
Out on the open road
Baby, as long as you're with me
I am home, I am home
