The Traveling Man

Meet me by the train tracks
We've a long ways to run
Bring your ticket and your bag
Just take my hand and don't look back
Just don't look back

Those worried eyes have got ahold of my heart
And all this time you know I said it from the start
'Till the bittersweet death, I'll stay tried and true
Doll, you know I'd never leave you

Oh darling don't look so sad
As long as you're with me we won't be turning back
On the railroad track
Try and keep my lover up, 'cause I'm a traveling man

Keep your eyes on the horizon and the blood in your shoes
I don't know where we're going but we'll get thеre soon
We'll try to find a bettеr life going down along the countryside
Don't matter where we land as long as I'm stuck with you

Heed the call of that open road
Don't fear the dark of the great unknown

Oh darling don't look so sad
As long as you're with me we won't be turning back
On the railroad track
Try and keep my lover up, 'cause I'm a traveling man

I'll be on my way in the morning
But I won't show my face 'till the evening comes
I will take my place without warning
But I won't lose my faith in the narrow road

I'll be on my way in the morning
I won't show my face 'till the evening comes
I will take my place without warning
But I won't lose my faith in the narrow road
