Wherever I May Roam

(from the album Metallica [Black Album])

Back to Metallica Albums

...and the road becomes my bride

I have stripped of all but pride

so in her I do confide

and she keeps me satisfied

gives me all I need

*

...and with dust in throat I crave

only knowledge will I save

to the game you stay a slave

rover wanderer

nomad vagabond

call me what you will

*

but I'll take my time anywhere

free to speak my mind anywhere

and I'll redefine anywhere

anywhere I may roam

where I lay my head is home

*

...and the earth becomes my throne

I adapt to the unknown

under wandering stars I've grown

by myself but not alone

I ask no one

*

...and my ties are severed clean

the less I have the more I gain

off the beaten path I reign

rover wanderer

nomad vagabond

call me what you will

*

but I'll take my time anywhere

I'm free to speak my mind anywhere

and I'll never mind anywhere

anywhere I may roam

where I lay my head is home

*

but i'll take my time anywhere

free to speak my mind

and I'll take my find anywhere

anywhere I may roam

where I lay my head is home

*

carved upon my stone

my body lie, but still I roam

wherever I may roam
