There's a few more lonesome cities that I'd like to see,

While the wine of wondering is still inside of me,

There's a few more pretty women that I'd like to know,

Bridge or two I'd like to cross, a few more oats to sow,

Maybe when I've done it all, seen all there is to see,

I'll find out I still cannot run away from me.

But as long as trains keep running, restless man I'll be

And there's a few more lonesome cities that I've yet to see.

Maybe when I've done it all, seen all there is to see,

I'll find out I still cannot run away from me.

But as long as trains keep running, restless man I'll be

And there's a few more lonesome cities that I've yet to see.

One or two more lonesome cities that I've yet to see.
