Only Way To Travel Lyrics - Bill Anderson

When I started out to write this song 

You and I were walkin' down the highway holdin' hands 

I was gonna write about how much a woman's love can help a man 

But somethin' kinda restless started stirrin' in my body 

Before I even got my guitar out 

And I'm glad I didn't waste my time writin' all these lovin' lines 

I don't feel that way about it now 

The only way to travel is to hit that big ole road by yourself 

A man don't need his back or his brain loaded down with someone else 

And when it starts to raining he don't have to find a shelter 

For anybody's body but his own uh huh the only way to travel is alone 

[ dobro ] 

I guess I just felt sorry for you walkin' down the highway in the morning in the cold 

Or else why would I let you tag along and start to searchin' out my soul 

But thank the Lord the wind came up and blew a little common sense 

Across the sandy deserts of my mind 

Now I can leave you standing here and never shed a tear 

And live like I should have all the time
