Took the pain of my hands today Looked up at the sky and couldn't see the birds A new year came and went Undoubtedly it's still the same Nothing right or wrong Just the cold wind that blows so long Traveling men don't get married What where you thinking Traveling men don't get married You should have quit drinking It took gypsy from the east to stop your road just temporarily It was the eyes of your queen So you took a shot Forever is never broken down Forever is the energy we can not capture long enough that it will hang around A short term is the best terms the traveling man can hope there may be The weary flat black circle we shift in but cannot see The sunset is always for sure The back lit doorway he walks through Traveling men don't get married What where you thinking Traveling men don't get married You should have quit drinking The road is home again as the lady fades into dusks simple moments Took the pain of my hands today Laid down alone no more right next to you The smell of time when he was free overwhelmed all he could see Gypsy passion and soft silk skin Could not take the place of the places he had been Now the queen he sees everywhere Couldn't lay down the memories of when he was free Now he knows that it's not just me Alone has its destinations But fails to hug me when I hurt Traveling men sometimes can change Wandering is not free A price you pay Then is not now and I am not he.
