LYRIC FOR SALE

By Howard Camner

I've walked these roads from end-to-end in search of love at last
I've made mistakes and found some friends who've slipped into my past

Through good and bad the times I've had aren't worth the tears I've cried
From dusk to dawn I'll take along the memories I hide

(Chorus)

in this travelin' song
it makes the weak man strong
My travelin' song
can find the right in wrong
My travelin' song

(Verses)

I've stumbled through a dream or two which left me all alone
to search this world without a clue; a king without a throne

When Day left Night so far from sight he cried, "I shall not grieve!"
Then stepping out into the light he reached into his sleeve

(Chorus)

for my travelin' song
he sings it off and on
My travelin' song
My way to say, "So long"
My travelin' song

(Bridge)

This travelin' song is something you can share
It moves from there to here and here to there
It picks a pocket now and then, rolls loaded dice, pulls the pin
and leads you to where all in love is fair

(Verses)

I met a lady years ago who taught me how to choose
She took me to a painted room and left me with the blues
I found the door but not before she said my words were deep
With that she fell right through the floor and sang out in her sleep

(Chorus)

My travelin' song
She sang it all night long
My travelin' song
The words she sang were wrong
My travelin' song

(Verses)

When love was born one misty morn, she took some time to grow
Then turned away to somehow say that someday she would go
I closed my eyes and realized that love was just a dream
Then following the hobo codes, I found a place to scream

(Chorus)

My travelin' song
The road's where I belong
My travelin' song
The road ahead is long
My travelin' song
