I remember back in the day seeing these guys get out of high school, go to work in the G.E. factory standing behind a punch press 8 hours a day, and doing it for 20-30 years. Every Sunday it was beer and a ball game on TV, and a few days every summer renting a cabin at the lake 30 miles away. Every year. Most had never been more than 50 miles from where they were born. And they were happy. I guess.

I don't know who wrote it, but I guess it fits me....
I was born for roaming
And roam I always will
Oh I wonder if it's greener
On the far side of the hill

Hey, come look down yonder
Just earth and green and sky
I know I could get on down there
In the blinkin' of an eye
And further west's an ocean
A miner told me so,
And the sun it shines so brightly
That it scares off winter snow

And yes sometimes I'm tired
Sometimes I'm lonesome too
Sometimes I see a farmer
Walking slow when day is through
And I know he's got a woman
waiting supper every day
But I bless this wanderin fever
That led my life away.

I wished I knew the reason
God does the way he does
And why he keeps me moving
to a place I never was.

Almost all sharks (except sand sharks and dogfish) need to keep moving constantly to stay alive. Me too.
