Classic Country Lyrics: "Done Rovin'" von Johnny Horton

Johnny Horton hatte, bis zu seinem frühen Tod bei
einem Autounfall, einige Hits, "Done Rovin'" war nur
einer davon, zwar nicht der bekannteste, aber einer der
schönsten Songs aus Hortons eigener Feder.

(I’m done rovin’, I’m gonna settle down)

I’m done rovin’ down this lonesome road
Found my treasure at the end of love’s rainbow
I found the love for which I’m pinin’
Pretty as a rainbow, her love was shining
I’m done rovin’ down this lonesome road

I’m done rovin’ down this lonesome road
‘Cause I found the key to this lovesick code
I found a love an’ that’s no lyin’
A gal I can trust without denyin’
I’m done rovin’ down this lonesome road

-Solo-

I’m done rovin’ down this lonesome road
Now I found the gal to share this heavy load
I vowed to her that I would take her
To the preacher an’ never forsake her
I’m done rovin’ down this lonesome road

I’m done rovin’ down this lonesome road
For to her apron strings, now I am sold
I love that gal an’ I want her only
You gotta have a gal or you’ll get lonely
I’m done rovin’ down this lonesome road

(I’m done rovin’, I’m gonna settle down)
