Packed my bags at midnight left a note by the bed
Said I can't stay no longer gotta follow where I'm led
You loved me so deeply but I can't settle down
This wandering heart needs to roam around
Wandering heart can't let roots take hold
Chasin' the horizon where new stories unfold
No matter where I go I'll always be apart
From the love I left behind with my wandering heart
You gave me a promise under moonlit skies
But there's a world out there I see in my eyes
The open road is callin' and I must heed the sound
With my wandering heart I can't be bound
Wandering heart can't let roots take hold
Chasin' the horizon where new stories unfold
No matter where I go I'll always be apart
From the love I left behind with my wandering heart
You gave me a promise under moonlit skies
But there's a world out there I see in my eyes
The open road is callin' and I must heed the sound
With my wandering heart I can't be bound
Wandering heart can't let roots take hold
Chasin' the horizon where new stories unfold
No matter where I go I'll always be apart
From the love I left behind with my wandering heart
Maybe one day I'll find my way back home
When the winds of change no longer make me roam
Till then I'll keep movin' with the stars as my guide
With this wandering heart there's no place to hide
So remember me fondly as you watch me leave
Know it's not you it's the call I believe
The road ahead is lonely but it's where I belong
With my wandering heart singin' its restless song
Wandering heart can't let roots take hold
Chasin' the horizon where new stories unfold
No matter where I go I'll always be apart
From the love I left behind with my wandering heart
So I'll keep on wanderin' till the day I find
A place where this heart can finally unwind
But until that moment I'll be driftin' far
With my wandering heart like a shooting star
