Travellin' Blues Lyrics - Timeless - Diane Schuur

Travelin' Blues 

I've traveled 'cross the country 

I've sung with lots of bands 

I've played in those big cities 

That book those one night stands 

I'm lonely and I'm weary 

I know the scene so well 

The blues have come to get me 

And to drag me down to hell 

But I keep travelin 

What have I got to lose 

Yes, I keep travelin 

Unravelin all my blues 

I check into a hotel 

And then forget its name 

Yes, I could ask 

But oh well aren't all hotels just the same 

Sink into the mattress 

Pray god my soul to keep 

The blues are in the streets 

Cries that haunt my troubled sleep 

But I keep travelin 

What have I got to lose 

Yes, I keep travelin 

Unravelin all my blues 

I wake up every morning 

And wonder where I'm at 

I look into the mirror 

And ask myself who's that 

I left behind a good man 

A face I can't recall 

And yet I love my old man 

Like or no man's been loved at all 

But I keep travelin 

What have I got to lose 

Yes, I keep travelin 

Unravelin all my blues 

I know the blues confuse me 

Hold me in their trap 

The lead and they lose me 

While round my brain they wrap 

A web of lonely journeys 

All spawned from evil thread 

That twist and turn and tangle me 

Until my soul is dead 

But I keep on travelin 

What have I got to lose 

Yes, I keep travelin 

Tryin to lose all my blues 

I guess I gotta hit the road again
