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
* repeat
** repeat
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
