Song DescriptionThe melancholy thoughts experienced while traveling alone.
Story Behind the SongAfter playing a gig on Christmas Eve traveling back home to my wife during a snow storm.
Lyrics
Travelin'.
Dakota state line, half past two and I'm travelin'.
The cold outside weeps a lonely tune. Why am I travelin'?
Don't see the state patrol, hands me a ticket, here we go.
Travelin'.
Coffee black like bitter rain. No one listens, so why complain? I keep travelin'.
Lord why does the road go on? Another detour and the day is gone.
White lines cast an evil spell. 66 miles to Death's Hotel. Ummmmm
Too tired to drive, too empty to care.
This drivin' fool sure could use a prayer
The road runs gray for eternity. Homeward bound will it - bring me
Shattered lives visit my grave.
God let them rest, their souls please save,
'Cause they're travelin' Maybe not like me, but maybe just maybe
