First Line: I hear the cars that hum along at night
Last Line: But travel never equals coming home.
Subject(s): Wandering & Wanderers; Wanderlust; Vagabonds; Tramps; Hoboes
I hear the cars that hum along at night,
The purr of motors moving through the sky,
While down below a train goes whistling by;
And darkness moans with work of human might.
My heart will always heed the call to roam;
Recalling lands I've seen will bring a sigh,
But travel never equals coming home.
