Dar Williams - Traveling Again Lyrics
Words and music by dar williamsHave I got everything? am I ready to go?Is it going to be wild, is it gonna be the best time?Or am I just a-saying so-o-o-o? am I ready to go?What do I hear when I say I hear the call of the road?I think it started with driving, more speed, more deals, moreSky, more wheelsMore things to leave behind, now its all in a day for theModern mindAnd I am traveling againCalling this a ghost town, and where is the heartland?And Im afraid, oh, was there any good reason, that I had to goWhen all I know is I can never come back.Traveling I made a friend, he had a trouble in his headAnd all he could says that he knew that the bottleDrank the woman from his bed, from his bedHe said Im not gonna lose that way again.But sober is just like driving, more joy, more dread, someoneTurns her headAnd smiles and disappearsHes gotta take it like it is, and it goes too fastAnd he is just like me, caught in-between, no sage advisorDoes weary mean wiser?And someday will I sing the mountains that carried me away awayFrom home and hometown boys like you?Yeah, but what about us? was it really that bad?Oh its hard to believe I want a highway roadstopMore than all the times we had, on little dirt roadsWhat am I reaching for thats better than a hand to hold?It really was about driving, not fame, not wealth,Not driving away from myselfIts just myself drove away from meAnd now I gotta get it back and it goes so fast, so I am travelingAgainSitting at the all-nite, picking up a penAnd Im afraid, oh, was there any good reasonThat I had to go, when all I know is I am all alone againAnd you are the ghost town, and I am the heartlandAnd I can say, oh, thats a very good reasonThat I had to go, but now all I know is I can never come backAnd I will never go back.
