(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 Early in the evening, I take my stuff out of the car Someone asks me, maybe they could look at my guitar And I open up the case, a little worn, a little frayed A little weary of creating all the miles I have made A gallery of faces, where the memories collide I was born to be traveler To roll and ride
