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 feel, come that all at me
But today I know that the curtains are closed

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

Uh ain't getting uptight
I know just what to do
My time has come for getting on
Yes, got to settle down

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

Uh ain't getting uptight
I know just what to do
My time has come for getting on
Yes, got to settle down

Drunk from the cup of Satan's blood
Worked till 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 till my eyes got weak
Sand till 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

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

Uh ain't getting uptight
I know just what to do
My time has come for getting on
Yes, got to settle down

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

Uh ain't getting uptight
I know just what to do
My time has come for getting on
Yes, got to settle down
