Backpacker from Beatlesque by The Rewriters
Some people are always ready to go as soon as they've arrived. Staying in one place or relationship is somehow uncomfortable for them.
The rocky guitar riff really comes to the fore on this one. plus some more angular chord changes.

Lyrics
Backpacker
Oh, who’s it gonna be this time, a victim of his crime
Who’s gonna wake up to find, his empty bed left behind
Backpacker, he’s ready at the start
Backtracker, ready to break your heart
Bag packer, he’s always on the move
Hold backer, love just ain’t his groove
Who’s gonna fall for his charms, and end up in his arms
Who’s gonna come undone, believing their the one
Backpacker, he’s ready at the start
Backtracker, ready to break your heart
Bag packer, he’s always on the move
Hold backer, cos love just ain’t his groove
Oh, who’s it gonna be this time, a victim of his crime
Who’s gonna wake up to find, his empty bed left behind
Backpacker, he’s ready at the start
Backtracker, ready to break your heart
Bag packer, he’s always on the move
Hold backer, cos love just ain’t his groove
