I've played the part of a travelling man
Acting my part from the very first line
But now I see, there's been a big change in me
From today I know that the curtains are closed

I've read the stories of brotherhood
Been around the world more than one time
But now I see, there's been a big change in me
But today I know that the curtains are closed

Oh feeling alright
My wandering days are through
I've had enough
But I hang around

Oh we're getting uptight
I know just what to do
My time has time has come for getting on
Yes, got to settle down

Oh feeling alright
My wandering days are through
I've had enough
But I hang around

Oh we're getting uptight
I know just what to do
My time has time has come for getting on
Yes, got to settle down

Drunk from the cup of Satan's blood
Worked 'til my hands could take no more
Up in the clouds, for the whole world to see
But today I know that the curtains are closed
Looked over hills 'til my eyes got weak
Sand 'til my song began to tire
But now I see, there's been a big change in me
And today I know that the curtains are closed

Oh feeling alright
My wandering days are through
I've had enough
But I hang around

Oh we're getting uptight
I know just what to do
My time has time has come for getting on
Yes, got to settle down

Oh feeling alright
My wandering days are through
I've had enough
But I hang around

Oh we're getting uptight
I know just what to do
My time has time has come for getting on
Yes, got to settle down
