Kathy Mar Traveling Song Lyrics

Traveling Song Lyrics

This is my traveling song



The end of this journey is almost in sight



An island-of-exile coffeehouse is my weary stop tonight



My friends are dying or getting married



It's hard to tell which one is which



And I'll be back home in my own sweet country soon



If I don't drive into a ditch







This is my travelling song



The border guards ask for my produce to take



I tell them I've nothing to declare and my foot lifts off the brake



My heart is crying "Too long you've tarried"



It's hard to slow down for the curve



And I'll be back home etc.



If I don't forget how to swerve







Bridge: I can know in my heart it's a sad cliche



	As the wanderlust calls me far away



	And I love the good old USA



	But it is not my home



	To my aching heart a mem'ry reaches



	Of her golden hills and endless beaches



	And the lesson that it softly teaches



	"California is your home.



	You've had time enough to roam,



	And it's time to come back home."







This is my traveling song



I open the door and I call that I'm back



And I ask someone just what day this is for I find that I've lost track



My family's flying in hugs I'm buried



It's hard to tell which way to turn



And I'll stay right here in my own sweet country now



'Cause at last I've started to learn







Bridge







Coda: This is my travelling song



But it's time to go back home



This is my travelling song



I've had time enough to roam



This is my travelling song



California is my home (x3)
