Traveling in the Lightning — текст песни (Warren Zevon)

written by Warren Zevon, c. 1970 United Artists, c. 1996 EMI Capital Music Special Markets

I was born down in Corpus Christi
With a dram glass in my hand
When I was just 15, I got a job playing rhythm
With a Nashville Shaketown band
I`ve been playing the blues so long
I`ve been paying my dues so long
I`ve been traveling in the lightning
Traveling in the lightning
Traveling in the wind and the rain
I`ve been tryin` and tryin` to find the right place again . . . yeah

Now the last time I saw my sweet old mama,
Her eyesight was looking dim
And the last I saw of my dear old daddy,
His horse was aridin` him . . . yes he was
They`ve been singing the blues so long
They`ve been singing such a sad, sad song
They`ve been traveling in the lightning
Traveling in the lightning
Traveling in the wind and rain
They`ve been tryin` and tryin` to find the right place again . . . yeah

I`ve been traveling in the lightning
I`ve been traveling in the lightning
Traveling in the lightning
Traveling in the wind and the rain
I`ve been tryin` and tryin` to find the right place again. . . yeah
