traveling light

cole, lloyd

she's got the porter by the baggage carousel

she's got the means to make him hurt a little

she's going places he no longer dreams about

beautiful dreams

no doubt

dreams of savannah mornings hung with spanish moss

dreams of new mexico and endless miles of dust

dreaming of soaring high above this vacant lot

all dreams of flight - traveling light

traveling light

traveling light

traveling light

if not for scheming constellations in the night

determined to align themselves against my designs

i would be traveling light

sailor's harmonica and gypsy guitar

like i'm the last of the true believers

kicking the dirt that might unearth that lonesome song

you know the one that i was counting on

traveling light

traveling light

traveling light

if not for bitter constellations in the night

determined to align themselves against my designs

i should be traveling light

if not for twisted guidance councellors

in spite of sympathetic bartenders

intent to do me right

i should be

i should be traveling light

i am the porter by the baggage carousel

i am the leader of this small ensemble

and we will pack this little station wagon tight

then take flight

amongst the headlights
