love's been good to me lyrics

I have been a rover I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways never found a home
Still in all I'm happy the reason is you see
Once in a while along the way love's been good to me

There was a girl in Portland before the winter chill
We used to go out courtin' along October Hill
She could laugh away the dark clouds cry away the snow
Seems like only yesterday down the road I go
I have been a rover...

There was a girl in Houston out where the hot winds blow
Why I had to leave her God Almighty knows
She could take the long hot summer cool it with a sigh
Words have no more wisdom when it's time to say goodbye
I have been a rover...
