Travelin' Light

You've been standin' on the corner for a thousand nights

It's the slowest corner known to man

Watchin' strange faces passin' 'neath the lights

With a bottle wavin' in your hand

You got just enough money for some nothin' to go

It ain't exactly what you planned

So lonesome that you can't even say hello

And no one seems to understand

So you're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd

The ones that only fit where they're not allowed

Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue travelin' light

With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through

A hole in your soul where the wind blows through

You wandered away from your childhood home

Nobody cared to trace the tracks you laid

You traveled by night and you traveled alone

Came to rest at a penny arcade

Well, the last shots over on a Saturday night

You wake up in the beam of a cop's flashlight

He asks you who you are as if you knew or you cared

He asks you where you live and you say nowhere

So you're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd

The ones that only fit where they're not allowed

Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue travelin' light

With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through

A hole in your soul where the wind blows through

I don't know where I got it but, I got it the same

It's a feelin' that'll rip you apart

It follows me around like a part of my name

Like I'm born with a time bomb instead of a heart

You're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd

The ones that only fit where they're not allowed

Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue travelin' light

With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through

A hole in your soul where the wind blows through

Mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd

The ones that only fit where they're not allowed

Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue travelin' light

With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through

A hole in your soul where the wind blows through

A hole in your soul where the wind blows through

A hole in your soul where the wind blows through
