Traveling On

I went down to the Greyhound Station

I picked up a long-legged man

I never thought someone could have this much control over me

This simple heart never had a chance

We lay down by that Brazil's river

He kept me from the cold

And the tremble in his voice put the devil in my soul

And whispered me a story never told

Lord, save my soul from thinking about him

I can't be around him, I knew it all along

And I don't like how the tale's unraveling

So I keep traveling, traveling on

I wish some nights that things were different

But I can't help what's in my mind

And you're so lost in your own world

Baby, you can't even hear me crying

It's hard for me to leave it all behind

I think now on that river

About when I, I lost the will to try

Those blue eyes will no longer have control over me

'Cause I wanna get to Heaven when I die

Lord, save my soul from thinking about him

I can't be around him, I knew it all along

And I don't like how the tale's unraveling

So I keep traveling, traveling on

So I keep traveling, traveling on
