C                                G 
I took the winter to travel 
C                      G 
Headed for the road 
D                         G 
Couldn't bear no sunshine 
D                        G 
I took off on my own 
C                              G 
Won't see me till springtime 
C                      G 
Never see me again 
D                             G 
I am headed for the east coast 
D                              G 
To find my wayward friend 
C                                G 
He likes the mountains in the daytime 

(and continue on)  


He's fond of the desert at night 

I think he likes to be alone 

So I curl up at his side 

You won't hear a peep from me boy 

Never see me again 

If I choose to run some 

I'd run till the mountains end 

I think he likes my silence 

I think he likes my smell 

I like the way you hit your teeth 

When you talk about what you know well 

You won't hear a peep from me boy 

I may never say a word again 

Oh before I take my silence 

I'd like to get to know you friend 

I like it here on the east coast 

I like the state I'm in 

I like the way you live here 

But I'm not done travelling 

I should stay here a while though 

I cannot just run again 

But I'm in love with you boy 

Come with me travelling 

It may not last forever 

Nothing ever does 

And there's nothing quite so fickle 

As a travelling lover's love 

I'll come back for you boy 

I'll be back again 

Oh when the road doesn't call me 

My travels there will end
