Lyrics
Track 9: The Traveler (3:01)
Written by Spencer Durham
Call me the traveler
Got my clothes on my back
Seems I got nowhere to go
Just cause I ramble
Doesn't mean where I'm headed
Is somewhere I been before
CHORUS
Well I gotta get moving
Cause the road is my home
People got me believing
What I'm doing is wrong
Yes I gotta get moving
I got places to go
I travel by daylight
And I sleep with the stars
You know I wake with the sun's morning glow
Well my breath smells of whiskey
Cause I drown in the bottle
From the thought of moving too slow
CHORUS
Call me the traveler
Got my clothes on my back
Seems I got nowhere to go
