I know that it will make you cry
To find that I have gone
Didn't even say goodbye
You'll hate me for a while
Because I promised love
And left you just regret

I know that I could never be
The kind of man that you
Have in your mind of me
For your sake we must part
It will break your heart
But you're young and you'll forget

You're young and I know time
Will help you find the perfect man
To really love you
And not a man like me
Who's like the wind and must be free-ee
But a man who's worthy of you

For I could never settle down
To just one way of life
One woman and one town
So sad to part this way
You'll be glad someday
For you're young and you'll forget

You're young and I know time
Will help you find the perfect man
To really love you
And not a man like me
Who's like the wind and must be free-ee
But a man who's worthy of you

For I could never settle down
To just one way of life
One woman and one town
So sad to part this way
But you'll be glad someday
For you're young and you'll forget
