Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boot heel tapping on the gravel shoulder
Map folded in a worn-out coat
Clouds hang low on the bent-back mountains
Old fence lines fade toward the throat of the road
[Chorus]
I’m just a traveler alone on the road to the next town
Dust in my teeth
Sky bearing down
Empty farm country
Barns all blown down
But I keep on walking
Til that next town sign comes around
[Verse 2]
One porch light in a hollow of cedars
Rust-red tractor sunk in the weeds
Crow on a wire like a tired old preacher
Calling out nothing anybody needs
[Chorus]
I’m just a traveler alone on the road to the next town
Dust in my teeth
Sky bearing down
Empty farm country
Barns all blown down
But I keep on walking
Til that next town sign comes around
[Bridge]
Maybe there’s coffee and a crooked little barstool
Maybe just a window and a lock that holds
Either way I’ll trade this wind-burned silence
For one soft voice saying
“you’re not alone”
[Chorus]
I’m just a traveler alone on the road to the next town
Dust in my teeth
Sky bearing down
Empty farm country
Barns all blown down
But I keep on walking
Yeah
I keep on walking
Til that next town sign comes around (comes around)
