Lyrics for My Traveling Star by James Taylor:
| | | Artist: | James Taylor |
| | Album: | October Road | | Track: | My Traveling Star | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 97 | | | | Lyrics: | Watch my back and light my way
My traveling star, my traveling star
Watch over all of
those born St. Christopher's Day
Old road dog, young runaway
They hunger for home but
they cannot stay
They wait by the door
They stand and they stare
They're
already out of there
They're already out of there
My daddy used to ride the
rails
So they say, so they say
Soft as smoke and as tough as nails
Boxcar
Jones, old walking man
Coming back home was like going to jail
The sheets and the
blankets and babies and all
No he never did come back home
Never that I recall
Nevermind the wind
Nevermind the rain
Nevermind the road leading home again
Never asking why
Never knowing when
Every now and then
There he goes
again
She had a cat and a dog named Blue
My traveling star, my traveling star
A big old stove and a fireplace, too
Old road dog, young runaway
She told me
loved me like it was true
I knew I should stay
I knew I would go
Run run run
away
Run run run away, boy
Run before the wind
Run before the rain
Over yonder hill
Just around the bend
Never knowing why
Never knowing
when
Every now and then
There you go again
Tie me up and hold me down
Oh, my traveling star
Bury my feet down in the ground
Oh, old road dog
Claim my name from the lost and found
And let me believe this is where I belong
Shame
on me for sure
For one more highway song
My traveling star
