[Upchurch, Struggle Jennings, Tom MacDonald - Travelers lyrics]
I'm a travelin' gypsy
Tipsy off weed and rye whiskey
Whistlin' the silence at night as the ghosts
Emerge from the thick weeds
Driftin' in clothin' they had when they
Left this world years ago
So they tiptoe in heaven
Nervous 'cause they still ain't the norm
They seen the light but they travel
Got stuck in the past to explore
Maybe we are in the past
That means the future is more
Or maybe the future is present
And before us this question
If that's the case then who do we
Ask when we need backwards directions
I mean, there's a meanin' for attributes
'specially one of a leader
One who goes against the world and
Don't care to die neither
And if I'm Robert E lee
Give me that Confederate Flag
Take me back to the past so
I can bleed out and laugh
He was a traveler, a rock star and a healer
Four wheels spinnin' in the
Sunset through the night (Through the night)
Into the dark unknown, guns are loaded
(Guns loaded)
But he always made it home before the light
(Before the light) Struggle
Uh, grass grown over my heart
It's been a lonely place
Waitin' on my time to shine
Rolex with a broken face
Sleepin' in a Cutlass
Showered in the truck stop
A buckshot's the only thing'll ever
Make this buck stop punch clocks and misery
Dreams of somethin' bigger
I just want to reach the public
Not just be a public figure
Like to say that he failed
Train to success was derailed
Put my journey in a song
Inspire you with details
In a field searchin' for seashells
No ocean was in sight
But I saw it in my heart
And kept believin' I was right
Fight for what's mine and what's
Not I'll go and earn
Blazin' a trail through the South
Tryin' not to get burned
He was a traveler, a rock star and a healer
Four wheels spinnin' in the
Sunset through the night (Through the night)
Into the dark unknown, guns are loaded
But he always made it home before the light
(Before the light)
I feel like I'm closer to heaven than
Ever but lately I haven't been prayin'
I feel like my halo turned into a noose
And I'm fightin' to stay on the pavement
I feel like the signs on the
Side of the road keep
On pointin' me past all the
Places I've wanted to go
So I stay on the road though I'm farther from
Home than I hoped I would make it
I feel like I'm naked inside of a
Snake pit and everybody wanna take pics
I feel like I have to come out of this
Hole with a pair of boots made of snakeskin
I feel like the road that's
Ahead is the highway
To hell but I'm still gonna take it
Nothin' to lose and a second
To prove that the
Stars that I follow done led me to greatness
I sunk all the skeletons
Drunk on adrenaline
Runnin' and dumpin' the evidence
Discussin' my demons with devils
Disguised as my
Friends who pretendin' they're better men
Collectin' the feathers of vultures
That patiently wait for a meal at my grave
Go tell my tale around campfires
If you listen close they'll say
He was a traveler, a rock star and a healer
Four wheels spinnin' in the
Sunset through the night (Through the night)
Into the dark unknown, guns are loaded
But he always made it home before the light
(Before the light)
Tipsy off weed and rye whiskey
Whistlin' the silence at night as the ghosts
Emerge from the thick weeds
Driftin' in clothin' they had when they
Left this world years ago
So they tiptoe in heaven
Nervous 'cause they still ain't the norm
They seen the light but they travel
Got stuck in the past to explore

Or maybe the future is present
