You ask me why i wander why i'm always on the roam Let me tell you sweetheart i've never had a home I've got sand burnin' sand in my shoes I've had girls to call me sweetheart but i always say goodbye Cause i only love three people me myself and i I've go sand burnin' sand in my shoes I've go sand burnin' sand in my shoes I keep moving just to dodge the blues I'd love to stay awhile with you a wedding ring we'd choose But i've go sand burnin' sand in my shoes I met a girl the other night who pleased me to a tee Till she puckered up and whispered low won't you please marry me Then i got sand burnin' sand in my shoes
