Traveling Light Songtext
von Bob Neuwirth

Ahem

Standing on the corner
With some low down blues
Its the slowest corner
Known to man

Watching strange faces passing
Beneath the light
With a bottle waving
In my hand

I have just enough money
For some nothing to go
This ain′t exactly what I planned
So lonesome I don't even say hello
And no one seems to understand

Oh, come on kid
Join the crowd
The boots will only fit
Where we ain′t allowed


Out on the street
Feeling blue
Traveling light
You got a hole in your soul
Where the wind blows through
Hole in your soul
Where the wind blows through

You wandered away
From your childhood home
No one cared to
Trace the tracks you laid
You travelled by night
You travelled alone
Came to rest at
A penny arcade

Now the last shots
Over on a Saturday night
You wake up in the beam
Of a cop's flashlight
He's asking who you are
As if you knew or you cared
He′s askin′ you where you live
And you just say nowhere

A mixed up kid joined the crowd
The boots will only fit
Where we're not allowed


Out on the streets
Feeling blue
Traveling light
You got a hole in your soul
Where the wind blows through
Hole in your soul
Where the wind blows through

Traveling light
And all your big mistakes
If you travel light
Your fight could be
Your saving grace

Prayer of a chance
Out of the blue
Asking for a miracle
To see you through

Well I don′t know
Where I got it
But I got it just the same
It's a feeling that′ll
Tear you apart
Follow you around
Like a part of your name
As if you're born
With a time bomb
Instead of a heart

A mixed up kid joined the crowd
The boots will only fit
Where we′re not allowed

Out on the streets
Feeling blue
Traveling light
You got a hole in your soul
Where the wind blows through
Hole in your soul
Where the wind blows through

Well, mixed up kids joined the crowd
The boots will only fit
Where we're not allowed

Out on the streets
Feeling blue
Traveling light
You got a hole in your soul
Where the wind blows through
Hole in your soul
Where the wind blows through
