Born To Be A Traveler Lyrics

Born To Be A Traveler lyrics

(Fearing/White)







I was born to be a traveler, I must have landed on my head



I used to dream that I was flying, I was falling out of bed



Then the family started moving, but some got left behind



And we learned to send postcards, like letters from the frontline



Out of sight but never out of mind



I was born to be a traveler



To roll and ride







My Mother she told me how to get out of the country



Wrap the teacups up in comics and you can read them later



Learn to tie a knot but you must always have a blade



And cuts are just a consequence of the choices that you made



She showed me when to leave and my Father taught me why



I was born to be a traveler



To roll and ride







I’m running for love



For love and for money



I run when I’m stung



When I stumble and fall



I fall into the future



Not a break in my stride



I was born to be a traveler



To roll and ride







Early in the evening, I take my stuff out of the car



Someone asks me, maybe they could look at my guitar



And I open up the case, a little worn, a little frayed



A little weary of creating all the miles I have made



A gallery of faces, where the memories collide



I was born to be traveler



To roll and ride
