I was born to wander 
a thousand miles from home
I was never happy til I could be alone
Now whenever I see one of my high school friends
I say 'the good life never ends'

One road to another looks much the same to me
one more new address is good as any place to be
I love to know another town is coming round the bend
where the good life never ends

maybe I've been caught between sweethearts for a night or 
two
but if your bed is never cold how can you be blue?
so if you ever see one of those old girl friends
tell her the good life never ends

now every night through the harbour lights
the big freighter ships roll in
they load up their holds 
with iron ore and gold
and sail out the heads again
every night in the singles bar, clientele roll in
strangers turn into lovers
and turn right back again
you don't know how good it feels until you can feel when
the good life never ends
No you don't know how good it feels until you can feel when
the good life never ends

An alternative version is as follows

I was born to ramble
a thousand miles from home
I was never happy til I can be alone
Now whenever I see one of my high school friends
I tell them 'the good life never ends'

One road to another looks much the same to me
one more new address is good as any place to be
Oh I love to see another city is coming round the bend
and I know the good life never ends

maybe I've been caught between sweethearts for a night or 
two
but if your bed is never cold how can you be blue?
I love to know another girl is just around the bend
yeah then the good life never ends

now every night 'neath the harbour lights
the big freighter ships roll in
they load up their holds 
with iron ore and gold
 they sail up the heads again
every night in the singles bar, clientele roll in
strangers turn to the next one 
and turn right back again
you don't know how good it feels until you can feel when
the good life never ends
No you don't know how good it feels until you can feel when
the good life never ends

the good life never ends
Good life good life
Good life it just never ends
I've heard things I've heard things
I've heard things turn out this way
