WHAT MAKES A MAN WANDER
(Harlan Howard)


Jan Howard - 1964

Sonny James - 1965
Connie Smith - 1968





Why do you like to roam 
You've got so much love at home
What makes a man wander 
What makes a man wander

The whistle of a train 
Does somethin' to your brain
What makes a man wander 
What makes a man wander

I know you love me as much 
As you ever could love anyone
Yet you're still gone
You come back and you vow 
That you'll settle down now
Then you're gone with the dawn

Why do you like to roam 
You've got so much love at home
What makes a man wander 
What makes a man wander

(Instrumental Break)

I know you love me as much 
As you ever could love anyone
Yet you're still gone
You come back and you vow 
That you'll settle down now
Then you're gone with the dawn

Why do you like to roam 
When you've got so much love at home
What makes a man wander 
What makes a man wander
What makes a man wander 
What makes a man roam
