| An empty sack of dust or just a box of bones
|
| Well, call me what you will, son
|
| My name’s Travelin' Jones
|
| And I search for the fire
|
| Stumbled upon with a precious desire
|
| Travelin' Jones, well, have you seen the miles?
|
| Have you smelled the whiskey and the smoke
|
| Burnin' out underneath your tires?
|
| Well, Travelin' Jones, you’re the Travelin' Jones
|
| Well, tell me the secrets of an endless road
|
| It’s not where you’ve been, son
|
| It’s what you understand
|
| Do you know the right from wrong
|
| Tell me boy, are you an honest man?
|
| Have you ever felt the fire
|
| Stumbled upon with precious desire?
|
| Have your fingers bled, boy off sin’s strings
|
| Tied to that wooden box
|
| That you’re playin' across your knee?
|
| Have you ever felt the fire
|
| Stumbled upon with a precious desire?
|
| Travelin' Jones, well, I’ve seen the miles
|
| I’ve played in every honky tonk bar
|
| Yeah, behind that chicken wire
|
| Well, Travelin' Jones, you’re the Travelin' Jones
|
| Tell me the secrets of an endless road
|
| An empty sack of dust or just a box of bones
|
| Call me what you will, son
|
| My name’s Travelin' Jones and I found the fire |
