Travelin' Light

No momma ever treated me

Like I was her baby child

She was traveling so light

She was traveling so light

We lived so free and wild

We lived so free and wild

Double-crossed me in New Orleans

I should have never let her in

Would she forgive me in time

Would she forgive me in time

For all my wanderings

For all my wanderings

Shackled up in Canyon City

Colorado doing time

I always knew she would get caught

I always knew she would get caught

For leaving me over the line

For leaving me over the line

In the end she nearly killed me

When she shared with me

Her wine and her bed

Like two thieves in the night

Like two thieves in the night

We threw away our hearts and fled

We threw away our hearts and fled

So if you hold on to love too tightly

No peace of mind can be won

So travel on so light

Travel on so light

To the morning stars you run

To the morning stars you run
