I won't be taking any trains
I'll thumb a ride today from someone going my way
I've got the mountains in my eyes
A rainbow in my pocket, I was bringing to you

Teach me to love you any way you can
Don't take forever, you know that I'm a man
Meet me at the back door, I'll come and bring myself
Don't have to pay for nothing but the tramp

I've roamed the land for many years
I've drank the wine of kings and dressed in sable and pearl
But all I've done was nothing new
Sable and pearl could never touch me and you

Teach me to love you any way you can
Don't take forever, you know that I'm a man
Meet me at the back door, I'll come and bring myself
Don't have to pay for nothing but the tramp

I've roamed the land for many years
I've drank the wine of kings and dressed in sable and pearl
But all I've done was nothing new
Sable and pearl could never touch me and you

Teach me to love you any way you can
Don't take forever, you know that I'm a man
Meet me at the back door, I'll come and bring myself
You don't have to pay for nothing but the tramp
