Traveling Man

(álbum: Quiet, Heavy Dreams - 2020)

I'm just a traveling man, you see
Wherever this road goes is where I will be
And I'll catch me a ride on a boat to Spain
Tell a woman that I love her then forget her name
And I wish I could stay for midday coffee
But I just can't get this dreaming off me
If I could find me a place to rest my mind
But mama always said you'll get there in good time

There's some headlights burning down the highway
And I think that I may just hitch me a ride
'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade, sir
We're all running from the things inside

There's a train heading West to South Toledo
And if the dogs don't sell me asleep I'll go
Dreaming as I'm steaming past miles of ground
Through the souls and hymnals that built these towns
Won't stay too long and leave too soon
The best time for going is when the going scare you

There's some headlights burning down the highway
And I think that I may just hitch me a ride
'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade, sir
We're all running from the things inside

There's some headlights burning down the highway
And I think that I may just hitch me a ride
'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade, sir
We're all running from the things inside
