I see the sunrise creeping in Everything changes like the desert wind Here she comes and then she's gone again I'm just a traveler on this earth Sure as my heart's behind the pocket of my shirt I'll just keep rolling till I'm in the dirt 'Cause I'm a traveler, oh, I'm a traveler I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know Where I'm going but I've got to go 'Cause every turn reveals some other road And I'm a traveler, oh, I'm a traveler My heartbeat's rhythm is a lonesome sound Just like the rubber turning on the ground Always lost and nowhere bound I'm just a traveler on this earth Sure as my heart's behind the pocket of my shirt I'll just keep rolling till I'm in the dirt 'Cause I'm a traveler, oh, I'm a traveler I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know Where I'm going but I've got to go 'Cause every turn reveals some other road And I'm a traveler, oh, I'm a traveler When I'm gone Somebody else will have to feel this wrong Somebody else will have to sing this song Somebody else will have to sing along Sing along I'm just a traveler on this earth Sure as my heart's behind the pocket of my shirt I'll just keep rolling till I'm in the dirt 'Cause I'm a traveler, oh, I'm a traveler I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know Where I'm going but I've got to go 'Cause every turn reveals some other road And I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
