Born To Be A Traveler Lyrics - Singles - Blackie & The Rodeo Kings

(Fearing/White) 

I was born to be a traveler, I must have landed on my head 

I used to dream that I was flying, I was falling out of bed 

Then the family started moving, but some got left behind 

And we learned to send postcards, like letters from the frontline 

Out of sight but never out of mind 

I was born to be a traveler 

To roll and ride 

My Mother she told me how to get out of the country 

Wrap the teacups up in comics and you can read them later 

Learn to tie a knot but you must always have a blade 

And cuts are just a consequence of the choices that you made 

She showed me when to leave and my Father taught me why 

I was born to be a traveler 

To roll and ride 

I'm running for love 

For love and for money 

I run when I'm stung 

When I stumble and fall 

I fall into the future 

Not a break in my stride 

I was born to be a traveler 

To roll and ride
