Only Way To Travel — текст песни (Bill Anderson)

When I started out to write this song
You and I were walkin` down the highway holdin` hands
I was gonna write about how much a woman`s love can help a man
But somethin` kinda restless started stirrin` in my body
Before I even got my guitar out
And I`m glad I didn`t waste my time writin` all these lovin` lines
I don`t feel that way about it now
The only way to travel is to hit that big ole road by yourself
A man don`t need his back or his brain loaded down with someone else
And when it starts to raining he don`t have to find a shelter
For anybody`s body but his own uh huh the only way to travel is alone
[ dobro ]
I guess I just felt sorry for you walkin` down the highway in the morning in the cold
Or else why would I let you tag along and start to searchin` out my soul
But thank the Lord the wind came up and blew a little common sense
Across the sandy deserts of my mind
Now I can leave you standing here and never shed a tear
And live like I should have all the time
