Wherever You Roam Lyrics

I could say you never need to doubt
Lie and say you only need to shout
But life can chew you up and spit you out
Life can chew you up and spit you out

And I'm not going to be there
And you won't always take care
But my love goes with you
Wherever you roam

I picture you all around ten
But now you've grown to women and to men
Things will never be the same again
Things can never be the same again

And I'm not going to be there
And you won't always take care
But my love goes with you
Wherever you roam
No matter where you are in the world
You're still my boys
And you're still my girls
And my love goes with you
Wherever you roam

Ooh ooh, sometimes this life's unkind
Ooh ooh, sometimes this life's unkind
It can take your mind
Take your mind and it'll test you
Again again again again again
Again again again again

And I'm not going to be there
And you won't always take care
But my love goes with you
Wherever you roam
No matter where you are in the world
You're still my boys
And you're still my girls
And my love goes with you
Wherever you roam
Wherever you roam

I could say you never need to doubt
Lie and say you only need to shout
But life can chew you up and spit you out
Life can chew you up and spit you out

And I'm not going to be there
And you won't always take care
But my love goes with you
Wherever you roam

I picture you all around ten
But now you've grown to women and to men
Things will never be the same again
Things can never be the same again

And I'm not going to be there
And you won't always take care
But my love goes with you
Wherever you roam
No matter where you are in the world
You're still my boys
And you're still my girls
And my love goes with you
Wherever you roam

Ooh ooh, sometimes this life's unkind
Ooh ooh, sometimes this life's unkind
It can take your mind
Take your mind and it'll test you
Again again again again again
Again again again again

And I'm not going to be there
And you won't always take care
But my love goes with you
Wherever you roam
No matter where you are in the world
You're still my boys
And you're still my girls
And my love goes with you
Wherever you roam
Wherever you roam

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
