Myers keeps the integrity of Ben Schneider’s original composition intact while altering rhythmic cadence and elongating key vowels to accommodate his Texas blues delivery. Below are the complete track lyrics as sung in his live acoustic sessions.
Verse 1
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me?
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me?
Well, if you won't, I must say goodbye to you
Chorus 1
I was off on an adventure, babe
I was searching for a missing part
Out in the wild, under cold dark skies
With a weary, wandering heart
Verse 2
There's an island beyond all the raging seas
Where the sun never sets on the summer breeze
There's a trail through the hills where the wild things grow
If you want to come, darling, you gotta let me know
Chorus 2
I was off on an adventure, babe
I was searching for a missing part
Out in the wild, under cold dark skies
With a weary, wandering heart
Bridge
What good is living a life you've been given
If all you do is stand in one place?
I'm not the kind of man to wait around
With a tear rolling down my face
Verse 3 & Outro
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me?
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me?
Well, if you won't, I must say goodbye to you
Yeah, if you won't, I must say goodbye to you
Goodbye to you, babe
To the ends of the earth
