Verse:
I'm a Bmvagabond just wandDering along
An obscuAre stretch of the dGrag
I don't Bmsleep much at all but dDon't get me wrong
I brought it Aon myself with this fGlag
that I'm waBmving high
Trying to kDeep boots dry for Ahigh ground to lay my hBmead
and for a mBmoment I spy when I cDlose my eyes, a pAicture of her face insBmtead
Chorus:
Still I fGind myself in some tAown
Burning the Dpillars of tradition dGown
And wGaking up on the Awrong side of fantDasy
Verse:
I'm a vBmagabond just wDandering along
Passing Atime in reverGie
I don't Bmbet much at all, but dDon't get me wrong
I played the cAards that were dealt to mGe
I may lBmose my mind from tDime to time
but  I kAnow I've made my bBmed
And I aBmdmit that I've cried more than wiDlling to die 
to wAake up with her insBmtead
Chorus:
Still I Gfind myself in some tAown
Burning the Dpillars of tradition dGown
And wGaking up on the Awrong side of fantasBmy
WaGking up on the Awrong side of you and Dme
Bridge:
I Acan't place where BmI lost track
Or where GI just lost my hDead
AGive me something shBmarp for the heartstrings
I wanna Gcut out of my cAhest
Cause there Gain't mBmuch tiAme
No there Gain't mBmuch tiAme 
No there Gain't Bmmuch tAime aBmbove gGroundA  
Chorus:
Still I Gfind myself in some tAown
Burning the pDillars of tradition Gdown
And wGaking up on the wArong side of fBmantasy
I welcome Gall those wishes and tArades
to lose the whoDolgathering daGys
of wakiGng up on the wrAong side of you and Bmme
Or wakGing up on the Awrong side of fantasBmy
I'm waking up on the wArong side of you and Dme.
