Lyrics
Travelin? Man
Verse I:
Comin? down from the mountain, a guitar in his hands,
Playin? that music, of a travelin? man.
He played his old guitar, and sang his song.
I just sat back a listenin?, as I clapped along.
Tell me the stories ?bout the Sioux and Cheyennes
Play me that music travelin? man
Chorus:
Oh, play me that long forgotten song tonight.
Let?s listen all night long till morning light.
Play me the good news,
So I can wash away my blues.
Play me that music travelin? man.
Play me that music travelin? man
Verse II:
He invited me to come with him up to the mountains.
We sat down where the blue river runs.
I took his guitar and he taught me to play.
He taught me to sing all my sorrows away.
Tell me the stories of roots and where it all began
Play me that music travelin? man
Repeat Chorus.
Bridge:
He showed me the road and the way I had to go.
His rich message of wisdom made my inside grow.
He taught me life in a song composed in his soul.
Now I understand what he wanted me to know.
Repeat Chorus and Fade.
