lyrics

Come October

Some people never leave the place
They’ve lived in all their life,
But the house that I was born in
Ain’t the house where I will die;
Just this once I thought I’d stay
When things were going right—
But the habit of a lifetime,
You can’t change it overnight,
You can’t change it overnight.

I had a mind to settle down,
But suddenly everything felt wrong;
Once more I found my head was filled with thoughts of moving on—
Come October, I’ll be gone,
Come October, I’ll be gone.

I’ll never have a family,
Just one job till I retire,
A mansion I can call my own
Is nothing I desire;
What’s mattered more throughout my life
Than my security
Is the spirit of adventure
And the joy in being free,
Oh, the joy in being free.

I had a mind to settle down,
But suddenly everything felt wrong;
Once more I found my head was filled with thoughts of moving on—
Come October, I’ll be gone,
Come October, I’ll be gone.

Who cares about the price I’ve paid
For how I choose to live?
A heart that’s yet to find its other half—
One day I will.

I’ll always be a nomad,
It’s the way that I’m inclined,
Brain hard-wired to move on,
Time after time.
‘Never one to stick around’
They’ll write on my headstone,
But what they think don’t matter—
Come October, I’ll be gone,
Come October, I’ll be gone.
Come October, I’ll be gone,
Come October, I’m gone.
