lyrics

Ever since I was young these dreams of travel filled my soul
thoughts of rolling fields of green and lands I didn't know
flying aeroplanes to take me places far away from home
yes this little box whence I came is too small and I must go
so one day I made a plan, an idea to leave this place
my anguished mind distilled with thoughts of bitter youth disgrace
I'll head for unchartered waters with my sails all full of wind
though I've left the shore for foreign soil my story's yet to begin

Cause in this world you have one chance to see what's to be seen
and staying in one place will shut down this wondrous dream
When I am old and gray I'll look back and hold a smile
remembering the places I've been, traveling all the while

My heart full of piss and vinegar I traveled down the road
the port left far behind me I had taken back control
In a darkened pub I met a man, he spoke of tales untold
his story held no interest to the world's youthful soul
but I was raised with open ears, my curiosity took the notes
I took his map off the beaten path and continued down the road
the places I've been and things I've seen help mold this ball of clay
yes I am proud and happy and will travel past today

Cause in this world you have one chance to see what's to be seen
and staying in one place will shut down this wondrous dream
When I am old and gray I'll look back and hold a smile
remembering the places I've been, traveling all the while

My pen still full of ink and many pages left to fill
I pack a bag to leave again, many miles left to kill
I'll miss you all but the road it calls out my name
so goodbye until next time, I go traveling again
So goodbye until next time, we go traveling again today
