I know that it would make you cry to find that I have gone didn't even say goodbye
You'll hate me for a while because I promised love and left you just regret

But I know that I could never be the kind of a man that you have in your mind on me
Though you said we must part it would break your heart
But you're young and you'll forget

You're young and I know time will help you find a perfect man to really love you
And not a man like me who's like the wind and must be free
But a man who's worthy of you

For I could never settle down to just one way of life
One woman and one town so sad to part this way
But you'll be glad someday for you're young and you'll forget

[ strings ]
And not a man like me who's like the wind and must be free
But a man who's worthy of you

For I could never settle down...
