Another Travelin’ Song lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I'm changing all my strings
I'm gonna write another traveling song
About all the billion highways
And the cities at the break of dawn
Well I guess the best that I can do now
Is pretend that I've done nothing wrong
And to dream about a train that's gonna
Take me back where I belong

[Verse 2]
Well now the ocean speaks and spits
And I can hear it from the interstate
And I'm screaming at my brother on a cell phone
He is far away
I'm saying nothing in the past or future
Ever will feel like today
Until we're parking in an alley
Just hoping that our sh*t is safe

[Chorus 1]
So I go back and forth forever
All my thoughts they come in pairs
Oh I will, I won't, I doubt I don't
I'm not surprised but I never feel quite prepared
[Verse 3]
Now I'm hunched over a typewriter
I guess you call that painting in a cave
And there's a word I can't remember
And a feeling I cannot escape
And now my ashtray's overflowing
I'm still staring at a clean white page
Oh and morning's at my window
She is sending me to bed again

[Verse 4]
Well I dream of dark on the horizon
I dream a desert where the dead lay down
I dream a prostituted child touching an old man
In a fast food crowd
Oh yeah, I dreamt a ship was sinking
There was people screaming all around
And I awoke to my alarm clock
It was a pop song, it was playing loud

[Chorus 2]
So I will find my fears and face them
Or I will cower like a dog
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead
I'll fight like hell to hide that I've given up
