Testo My Travelling Star

Watch my back and light my wayMy traveling star, my traveling starWatch over all of those born St. Christopher's DayOld road dog, young runawayThey hunger for home but they cannot stayThey wait by the doorThey stand and they stareThey're already out of thereThey're already out of thereMy daddy used to ride the railsSo they say, so they saySoft as smoke and as tough as nailsBoxcar Jones, old walking manComing back home was like going to jailThe sheets and the blankets and babies and allNo he never did come back homeNever that I recallNevermind the windNevermind the rainNevermind the road leading home againNever asking whyNever knowing whenEvery now and thenThere he goes againShe had a cat and a dog named BlueMy traveling star, my traveling starA big old stove and a fireplace, tooOld road dog, young runawayShe told me loved me like it was trueI knew I should stayI knew I would goRun run run awayRun run run away, boyRun before the windRun before the rainOver yonder hillJust around the bendNever knowing whyNever knowing whenEvery now and thenThere you go againTie me up and hold me downOh, my traveling starBury my feet down in the groundOh, old road dogClaim my name from the lost and foundAnd let me believe this is where I belongShame on me for sureFor one more highway songMy traveling starMy traveling star
