I'm a traveler you see, rollin' free
movin' everywhere, my old truck and me
University and City, all about the same
only thing different is the name of the game
I'm a traveler you see, rollin' free
movin' everywhere, my old green truck and me.
Sausalito, San Francisco, Santa Barbara in style
three days in Vegas, didn't see a single smile.
So here I am in greater LA
washin' dishes, pullin' my pay
writin' a little, readin' alot
thinkin' 'bout things I ain't got.
I'm a traveler you see, rollin' free
movin' everywhere, my old truck and me.
58 jobs in 58 cities, goddamn
and I already know who I am.
Out on the pier and up the stairs
pick the best spot out of all the chairs
order a drink look up at the stage
well...I'll be damned, eyes engage.
I'm a traveler you see, rollin' free
movin' everywhere, my old truck and me.
always watching faces, especially the eyes
always finds you unaware; surprise
leaps out and recognition follows close behind
Siddhartha, Zarathustra, Mephistopheles, of one mind
Ragnar, Zoroaster, Rilke, Rimbaud of a kind
Dosteoevski - Milhaud - Wagnar - and you find
integral relationships not seen before
and because of these you find many more
The Beattles and Boo and the Tarot Card
The Emporer, the Prince, it's not that hard
The MJQ and Django, Charlie Christian swing
Judy Collins, Buffy St. Marie, Hoyt Akston, do that thing
Miles and Coltrane, Cream and Airplane
Yeah - I dig - they think we're Insane
And subjectively they're right, we are
outta sight, so far behind, so far
Yale Marrat and Walden Two
Ayn Rand's Anthem and John Galt too
She only smiles for me, dream away
hide your love away for some better day
Cocaine Baby, that's where it's at, Pusherman
Easy Rider - rides no more, but you can
He was younger than I was but the women
always thought he was older, and then
I had a girl, or should I say, Magdalene
get it together, Jude, Hello you, in Plain D when...
Yeah, I'm a traveler you see, rollin' free
movin' everywhere, my old truck and me
It's a long hard road but it might lead you home
it might, but if not, there's still reason to roam
I'm a traveler you see, rollin' free
movin' everywhere, my old truck and me.
straight line highways and winding lanes, strange
sometimes not even the faces show a change.
Forty cents left and whadaya think
better have me some coffee to drink
waitress and boss, dishwasher - ah well
eight years of college, what the hell.
I'm a traveler you see, rollin' free
movin' everywhere, my old truck and me
dusty roads and city lights all the same
and it's time to leave when you know my name.
But I'll remember you and your warm smiles
and keep them with me through the lonely miles.
and when my stock runs low and I'm tired of the ride
I'll think back to the evenings here inside.
