"Sing A Traveling Song" lyrics

Sing A Traveling Song

Hey, little girl
With tears in your eyes
Don't waste your time now
Asking me why
I don't know
I know I'll just be moving along

You say that home
Is where my love is at
I said that home
Is where I hang my hat
The time has come to
Sing a traveling song

You want a house
And a lot of close friends
I love the feel
Of my back to the wind
The two won't match you know
The cage they wile would be wrong

You think that love is friends
A child and a home
You can't buy love
On a twenty year alone
The time has come to
Sing a traveling song

Someday where we sat
In your old porch swing
A tamer man
May offer you a ring
A man that wants his friends
And neighbors a child and a home

Don't waste your tears
On love that never could be
What's right for others
Just ain't right for me
The time has come to
Sing a traveling song
