Travelin' Blues - Live

I've traveled 'cross the country, I've sung with lots of bands

I've played in those big cities that book those one-night stands

I'm lonely and I'm weary, I know the scene so well

The blues have come to get me and to drag me down to hell

But I keep travelin', what have I got to lose?

Yes, I keep travelin', unravelin' all my blues

I check into a hotel and then forget its name

Yes, I could ask, but oh well, aren't all hotels just the same?

Sink into the mattress, great God, my soul to keep

The blues are in the street, Christ, I haunt my troubled sleep

But I keep travelin', what have I got to lose?

Yes, I keep travelin', unravelin' all my blues

I wake up every mornin', wonder where I'm at

I look into the mirror and ask myself, "Who's that?"

I left behind a good man, a face I can't recall

And yet I love my old man, oh, no man's beloved at all

But I keep on travelin', what have I got to lose?

Yes, I keep travelin', tryin' to unravel all my blues

I know the blues can use me, hold me in their trap

They lead me and they lose me, while round and round they wrap

A web of lonely journeys, I'll spun from evil threads

That twist and turn and tangle me until my soul is dead

But I keep on travelin', what have I got to lose?

Travelin', tryin' to lose all my blues!

I guess I gotta hit the road again
