Lyrics:

(R.Mckuen)[Recorded March 20, 1969, Hollywood]I have been a roverI have walked aloneHiked a hundred highwaysNever found a homeStill in all I'm happyThe reason is, you seeOnce in a while along the wayLove's been good to meThere was a girl in DenverBefore the summer stormOh, her eyes were tenderOh, her arms were warmAnd she could smile away the thunderKiss away the rainEven though she's gone awayYou won't hear me complainI have been a roverI have walked aloneHiked a hundred highwaysNever found a homeStill in all I'm happyThe reason is, you seeOnce in a while along the wayLove's been good to meThere was a girl in PortlandBefore the winter chillWe used to go a-courtin'Along October hillAnd she could laugh away the dark cloudsCry away the snowIt seems like only yesterdayAs down the road I goI've been a roverI have walked aloneHiked a hundred highwaysNever found a homeStill in all I'm happyThe reason is, you seeOnce in a while along the wayLove's been good to me
