Lyrics
No man really knows my heart
Try as he may
I've been with really good ones
And not so good ones
Along the way
I see that I'm a traveler
A traveler that just won't settle down
So I've got to leave this good ol' boy
I've gotta leave this good ol' country town
Cause I'm a traveler
Ain't got to ten percent of where I'm gonna go
I'm a traveler
Don't take it so bad when I have told you so
I'm a traveler
I try to settle down some
Try not to be afraid of the comfort in his arms
But then that calling echoes to me
And I know I'm only doing him harm
You see that road it calls out to me
And it don't care about my ties
The only question is will I follow
Will I leave it all behind, probably so
I'm a traveler
Ain't got to ten percent of where I'm gonna go
I'm a traveler
Don't take it so bad when I have told you so
I'm a traveler
I'm a traveler, I'm a traveler, I'm a traveler
There are light years separating
Part of you from part of me
And no matter how I look at things
I cannot help I cannot help but see
I see that I'm a traveler
A traveler that just won't settle down
So I've got to leave this good ol' boy
I've got to leave this good ol' country town
I'm a traveler
Ain't got to ten percent of where I'm gonna go
I'm a traveler
Don't take it so bad when I have told you so
I'm a traveler
I'm a traveler, I'm a traveler, I'm a traveler
