Song language: English
The Traveling Kind |
| We don’t all die young to save our spark |
| From the ravages of time |
| But the first and last to leave their mark |
| Someday become the traveling kind |
| In the wind are names of poets past |
| Some were friends of yours and mine |
| And to those unsung, we lift our glass |
| May their songs become the traveling kind |
| We were born to brave this tilted world |
| With our hearts laid on the line |
| Be it way-crossed boy or red dirt girl |
| The song becomes the traveling kind |
| There are mountains worth their weight in gold |
| Mere mortals dare not climb |
| Come ye tipsy, sainted, sinners both |
| And claim them for the traveling kind |
| When the music slowly starts to fade |
| Into the light’s last soft decline |
| Let us lie down in that evening shade |
| And rest among the traveling kind |
| And the song goes on for the traveling kind |
