LYRICS:
I’ve been a wanderer all of my life
It's all the life that I know
I've never slowed down for anything much
But you put on quite a show
Now the sun seems to shine a little brighter, love
And when the road calls you’re up for the ride
And sometimes I sleep a little longer, love
Just because you are there by my side
And I’ve been afraid of changing
But the way that I feel about you
Makes me think that it’s worth rearranging
The things that I thought that I knew
Because I thought it would be in the city
Or maybe just out of town
Or maybe deep in the forest
Where nobody else was around
I even went into the mountains, love
To the desert to the ocean to the farm
Turns out it was closer than I ever knew
It was lying here wrapped in your arms
And I’ve been afraid of losing
Something that I’ve never known
But nothing is all that confusing
When love is calling you home
And I’ve been afraid of changing
Afraid for to call you my own
But everything’s worth rearranging
When love is calling you home
Calling you home
Love is calling you home
Calling you home
Love is calling you home
I’ve been a wanderer all of my life
It's all the life that I know
I've never slowed down for anything much
But you had me right at ‘hello’
