Met a leather man
On a cloudy day
Just walkin’ down the road			
Said he’d been here once
But didn’t stay		
He was carryin’ a heavy load				
We found a rock 	to rest on
 And watched the setting sun
I wondered how long it’d be	
‘fore I heard him sing his song	
				
He offered me
His rusty flask
Filled with yesterday’s wine
I asked him why
He roams about
How I see him time to time		
He took a drink then bowed his head
Before he told me this	
A house just ain’t a home
When you live a life that roams	
		
It’s hard to walk in shifting sand
When you find yourself in no man’s land 				
But when you’re old and when you’re young
Sometimes, ya just got to,	ya just gotta run		

Said he tried his luck
Livin’ straight
But the road was what he found
Was tempted by
The hand of fate
It comes without a sound		
And when it’s through, we’re often blue
Not much more a soul can do
How many nightfalls can you see	
How many lives were meant to be	
			
It’s hard to walk in shifting sand
If you’re lookin’ for a place to land		
But when you’re old and when you’re young
Sometimes, ya just got to,	ya just gotta run

Told him it was time to go
He tipped his hat and wished me well 
there was one thing I oughta know	
I told him please do tell
An old man once	had this to say
When you’re lookin’ for a card to play	
And he said as quite as a mouse
A stacked hand always beats a full house
