Lyrics:
A Dmaj7
Watch my back and light my way
Fm E A
My traveling star, my traveling star
A Dmaj7
Watch over all of those born St. Christopher's Day
Fm E A
Old road dog, young runaway
A Asus4 Dmaj7
They hunger for home but they cannot stay
Dm
They wait by the door
Fm
They stand and they stare
Dmaj7
They're already out of there
Fm E A
They're already out of there
A Dmaj7
My daddy used to ride the rails
Fm E A
So they say, so they say
A Dmaj7
Soft as smoke and as tough as nails
Fm E A
Boxcar Jones, old walking man
A Asus4 Dmaj7
Coming back home was like going to jail
Dm Fm
The sheets and the blankets and babies and all
Dmaj7
No he never did come back home
Never that I recall
Asus E A
Nevermind the wind
Asus E A
Nevermind the rain
Asus E A
Nevermind the road
Asus E Fm
leading home again
Fm E A
Never asking why
Fm E A
Never knowing when
Fm E A
Every now and then
Asus E A
There he goes again
A Dmaj7
She had a cat and a dog named Blue
Fm E
My traveling star, my traveling star
etc.
A big old stove and a fireplace, too
Old road dog, young runaway
She told me she 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
My traveling star
