Lyrics

I am a travelin’ soul
With a brand new set of wheels
They ask me how I do it
I said I like the way it feels
This is the life I chose
Seekin’ truth along this road

Well it’s easy to be runnin’
But so hard to stay behind
I have to keep in motion
To ease my worried mind
But the more I see
The more I fear just what I’ll find

It’s the same old two-lane highway
And the same old moon above
A world of contradictions
And the longin’ to be loved
I am a travelin’ soul
Seekin’ truth along this road

Well the towns that pass my windows
They all start to look the same
Overrun by corporate greed
Disguised as household names
I am a travelin’ soul
Seekin’ truth along this road

It’s a bitter pill to swallow
The country that you love
Has a history of violence
That is written out in blood
I am a travelin’ soul
Seekin’ truth along this road

It’s the same old two-lane highway
And the same old moon above
We’re a world of contradictions
And the longin’ to be loved
I am a travelin’ soul
Seekin’ truth along this road

I could drive all night
On this brand-new set of wheels
They ask me how I do it
I said I like the way it feels
This is the life I chose
Seekin’ truth along this road

It’s the same old two-lane highway
And the same old moon above
I’m a world of contradictions
But I’m longin’ to be loved
I am a travelin’ soul
Seekin’ truth along this road
I am a travelin’ soul
Seekin’ truth along this road
