You ask me why i wander why i'm always on the roam
Let me tell you sweetheart i've never had a home
I've got sand burnin' sand in my shoes

I've had girls to call me sweetheart but i always say goodbye
Cause i only love three people me myself and i
I've go sand burnin' sand in my shoes

I've go sand burnin' sand in my shoes
I keep moving just to dodge the blues
I'd love to stay awhile with you a wedding ring we'd choose
But i've go sand burnin' sand in my shoes

I met a girl the other night who pleased me to a tee
Till she puckered up and whispered low won't you please marry me
Then i got sand burnin' sand in my shoes
