Story Behind The Song
Written in 1980 after a nasty divorce. This song was therapy for my broken heart, allowing me to vent my pain.
Recorded 'live' with Sam Cape (sitting in for the first time)on lead , it's a 4:14 min. tribute to lost direction and purpose.
Song Description
Karma,is the yoke of one's mistakes.Can anyone recover from Karma gone bad.Or is the problem even deeper within us.

Plans can be an end within themselves,an escape.

Lyrics
LONESOME TRAVELER
In your dreams you're beginning to shout
You've beginning to have you're doubts
That you really know, what life is about
Did all your friends deceive you
Or some women mistreat you
Do you know what it is, you're screaming about
The sun has your name
The wind your soul
And at night, you just grow cold
Longing for, two arms to hold you
Two arms
You've never known
Chorus
Lonesome Traveler, oh ohhh
Clinch you fist up to the sun
There are reasons, for your life
Your days, and why you live every one
Nights to numerous to count
Days you could live without
Have you truly lost your way
As your life, comes full circle
Deep blues have turn to purple
Are you the man you sought to be
Chorus
But you run, run
Yes you run, run
Yes you run, run ,run away
Chorus
