Man With No Country (Live, Roundhouse, London, 21 January 2007) [2025 Remaster] lyrics

[Verse 1]
Man with no country
Just a guitar and a love that is sung
He only wants to sing
Man with no country
Walking along down long dusty roads
He wants to stay ahead of everything

[Refrain]
He's got to see new horizons each day
But he'll never stay

[Verse 2]
Man with no country
Looks up and sees the birds in the sky
He wants to be so free and fly high
Man with no country
Never looks back to that place he came from
He's got to see something, moving on

[Refrain]
Though he'll remember the places and faces he met each day
Still he won't stay

[Verse 3]
Man with no country
Comes into town and looks like a star
Somebody ask him to play his acoustic guitar
Man with a wallet
Comes in and creeps up from behind
Said, "I got a piece of paper I want you to sign"
[Chorus]
He's only searching for things that will set his soul free
It's the way he knows it's got to be
And heaven is a long, long way from where he stands
He's a very lonely man

[Post-Chorus]
Man with no country

[Interlude]
[2:20][?]

[Bridge]
Oh, brother, brother, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, brother, brother, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, oh

[Interlude]
Man with no country

[Chorus]
But he's searching for things that will set his soul free
That's the way he knows it's got to be
And heaven is a long long way from where he stands
He's a very lonely man
[Outro]
Man with no country
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Man with no country
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la, oh
Thank you
God bless Jim Capaldi, and all of you
Salam
