| Well I’ve been traveling over mountains
|
| Even through the valleys, too
|
| Well I’ve been traveling night and day
|
| Running all the way
|
| Baby, trying to get to you
|
| Ever since I read your letter
|
| Where you said you loved me true
|
| I’ve been traveling night and day
|
| Running all the way
|
| Baby, trying to get to you, oh love
|
| Well when I read your loving letter, yeah
|
| Then my heart began to sing
|
| There were many miles between us, baby
|
| But they didn’t mean a thing, no no
|
| If I had to do it over and over and over
|
| It’s exactly what I’d do
|
| I would travel night and day
|
| Still run all the way
|
| Baby, trying to get to you
|
| Hold on baby, I’m coming, yeah
|
| Well, there’s nothing that could hold me
|
| Or could keep me away from you
|
| When your loving letter told me baby
|
| That you really loved me true, yeah no
|
| Well I’ve just got to get to you, baby
|
| In spite of all that I’ve been through
|
| When my way was dark as night
|
| Lord of love would shine his brightest light
|
| When I was trying to get to you, oh baby
|
| Now I’m standing in his fool box
|
| On a lonely dessert highway
|
| And at 25 cents to get to you
|
| No chance, no, no
|
| When my way was dark as night
|
| Lord of love would shine his brightest light
|
| When I was trying to get to you
|
| Well I’ve been traveling over mountains |
