I'm Bound For The Mountains And The Sea Lyrics - Tom Paxton

If you can't come along, love, then you must stay behind 

You're bound to say farewell to me 

I must bid you goodbye, though I hate to see you cry 

But I'm bound for the mountains and the sea 

Fare thee well, bound for the mountains and the sea 

It's so hard to explain, why I'm leaving once again 

It ain't nothing that I haven't done before 

It ain't nothing much, I guess, but the thing I love the best 

Is rambling this land from shore to shore 

In this land, rambling this land from shore to shore 

I have walked, I have thumbed, I've rode buses, I've rode trains 

I've ridden a time or two in a silver plane 

When I think of where I've been, I just have to go again 

Just to see if everything is still the same 

In this land, see if everything is still the same 

So fare well, my dear, and I must be on my way 

There's many a thing I must do and see 

I'm a mighty restless man in a mighty restless land 

And I'm bound for the mountains and the sea 

Fare thee well, bound for the mountains and the sea
