lyrics

lonely traveler/cold as ice/time and hard lost battles echo in your eyes/he says i was a worker and a hard one too/but the house cost my soul and the spare change too/had me tied to my shovel and the holes got deeper but the bills and the bankers came still nearer/and i’m sorry but i swear i’ll pay you soon/would you lend me a room//chorus//cause he’s not what they were looking for/maybe a rich man had what they wanted and more/let all your dreams die hard on the name and the word of a lonely traveler//weary rambler/all alone in a sea of men that kind/all they’ve got is gone/could’ve folded his hand and called it a night if he didn’t know tomorrow would be alright/it’s hard to make a dollar buy some time/but if it pays for a pillow he’ll be just fine//chorus//i woke to the sunrise to find he had left/i read the crumpled paper to find it said/we’re lonely travelers every one/no place to hide nowhere to run//chorus//
