I'm Just A Restless Traveler

I'm Just A Restless Traveler

In all of my amazement...I just had to see
Everywhere the air was new...that's where I wanted to be;
Going east or a little west...a little north or south
Just to see that next mile and what life was all about.

Out on that horizon, a voice said to me
"Let me show you something new, and let me set you free".
Give a little of your time and I'll give you some of mine
I traveled many roads alone never knowin' what I find.

I'm just a restless traveler who has traveled the world round
I've seen the best and worse in life, I rode its ups and downs;
I flew the airs and I rode the rails, I even used my thumb
I sweated during the summers, and during winters my body became numb.

I'm getting older now, and I'm running out of time
Still I wonder where the airs and roads go, I've grown a little blind;
If I could do it all over again...I wouldn't miss the chance
I would fly the airs and hit the roads, in life you've got to dance.

I'm just a restless traveler who has traveled the world round
I've seen the best and worse in life, I rode its ups and downs;
One day I'll be thrown to the wind, my ashes in the breeze
I'll see sites I never seen, and my spirit will finally be free.
