I see the sun rise thm is a
creep ing in;
ev ’ry thing chang es like the des ert wind.
Here she comes, and then she’s gone a gain, and...
I’m just a trav ’ller on this earth,
sure as my heart’s be hind the pock et of my shirt.
I’ll just keep roll ing till I’m in the dirt, ’cause I’m a trav ’ller,
oh, I’m a trav ’ller.
I could n’t tell you, hon ey, I don’t know
where I’m go ing, but I’ve got to go;
’cause ev ’ry turn re veals some oth er road, and I’m a trav ’ller,
oh, I’m a trav ’ller.
My heart beat’s rhy rise thm is a
lone some sound,
just like the rub ber turn ing on the ground,
al ways lost and and she’s no where bound.
and...
I’m just a trav ’ller on this earth,
sure as my heart’s be hind the pock et of my shirt.
I’ll just keep roll ing till I’m in the dirt, ’cause I’m a trav ’ller,
oh, I’m a trav ’ller.
I could n’t tell you, hon ey, I don’t know
where I’m go ing, but I’ve got to go;
’cause ev ’ry turn re veals some oth er road, and I’m a trav ’ller,
oh, I’m a trav ’ller.
When I’m gone,
some bod y else will have to (Bb)feel this wrong,
some bod y else will have to (Bb)sing this song,
some bod y else will have to (C)sing a long,
sing a long.
