VIDEO: I Am A Wanderer by Steve Earle (sung by Joan Baez) w/lyrics

LYRICS:
I am a wanderer, feet on the ground
Heart on my sleeve & my head in the clouds
Eye on the star above some distant shore
Wandering ever more
A – – Bm / D F#m D E / A – – Bm / D E A –

I am a refugee torn from my land
Cast off to travel this world to its end
Never to see my proud mountains again
But I still remember them

I am a laborer, sign ‘round my neck:
“Will work for dignity, trust & respect”
Stand on this corner so you don’t forget
I haven’t had mine yet

I am a prisoner pacing my cell
Three steps & back in my corner of hell
Lock me away & you swallow the key
But someday I shall be free

(reprise v.1:)​ ​And ​I’ll be​ a wanderer…
