sing a traveling song

hey little girl with tears in your eyes

don't waste your time now asking me why

i don't know i know i'll be moving along

you say that home is where my love is at

i said that home is where i hang my head

the time has come to sing a traveling song

you want a house and a lot of close friends

i love the feel of my back to the wind

the two won't match you know the cage they wile would be wrong

you think that love is friends a child and a home

you can't buy love on a twenty year alone

the time has come to sing a traveling song

someday where we sat in your old porch swing

a tamer man may offer you a ring

a man that wants his friends and neighbors a child and a home

don't waste your tears on love that never could be

what's right for others just ain't right for me

the time has come to sing a traveling song mhmm mhm
