Travellin' Thru America

Travelin thru America

Seeing things I always thought I'd see

I never really felt at home

I had to find the road to comfort me

Cincinnati came pretty close

Holding my attention for a while

I had dreams of night life fast and wild

A New York scene, a little more my style

But it wasn't long before I felt like everyone was in a pointless race

I never wanted to win, I just wanted to run

So I moved off to a less familiar place

Nashville Tennessee I met the woman of my dreams

I got a record deal and I live with her for while

But one night she told me that she had dreams of nightlife fast and wild

And New York City seems a little more her style

I couldn't stay behind without her there

And I had had my share of New York too

But I knew how bad she needed to go

There was only one thing left to do

All my life, I've traveled through those county roads

The streets of those old towns

Please don't ever ask me what I've learned

Whatever I thought I'd find, I never found

Travelin thru America

Feeling things I'd never thought I'd feel

I don't feel at home, I just feel alone

But I think I still believe that love is real

If you see her in Manhattan she'll say, "He's never coming back, or so it seems"

Tell my lady that my final road will lead me home to the woman of my dreams
