Travelin'

Story Behind The Song

First, let me say that I'm way too young to have a grandfather who fought in WWI. ;-) However, my grandfather used to sing an old marching song called Travelin' to us kids...said they sang it as a marching song during WWI. It definitely had a very old Folk sound to it and we grandkids thought it was so funny! Travelin' was inspired by Henry "Pop" Venable

Song Description

Travelin' has a Folk/Bluegrass vibe to it with Banjo and a squeeze box goin on. It's happy, fun and well, it's downright inspirational! It's a "Life is all about the Journey" tune.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Spinning round and round on this big blue ball
Take my hand and we won't fall
Open your eyes don't miss a thing
Maybe as we're going we can sing

Chorus

While we're travelin' travelin'
Where we gonna go? We don't really know
Travelin' travelin'
Hey at least we're not alone

Verse 2

Each revolution has dark and light
Expect a better morning every night
Even if it's sunny or skies are gray
We'll still be spinning toward a brand new day

Chorus

As we're travelin' travelin'
We're in this together hurling toward forever
Travelin' travelin'
Hey at least we're not alone

Verse 3

Billions of years Billions of stars
How did we end up where we are?
So when I've spun my final day
I'm sure someone in heaven can say

Chorus

Why we're travelin' travelin
Through the Milky Way It's just another day
Travelin Travelin
Maybe we're just headin home

Break Down

We each take our turn. Boy and Girl.
Sharing space in a great big world.
No one better. No one worse.
I even heard the last is first.
You see I love you and you love me.
They say Love is All You Need.
So when our time on Earth is done.
I sure hope we had some fun.
But if we find someone in need.
And then pretty as you please.
We Help em out if we can.
Then we'll understand why we're

Travelin" Travelin'

It's all about that journey home.
