Time for Travelin’

[Verse 1]
I came into Atlanta dreamin' of Lorraine
Came so tired of ridin' 'cross the savanna plain
Still feel the wheels a-rollin', feel them just the same
Steel wheels still a-rollin' on a long night train

[Bridge 1]
She met me at the station, took me to her room
Was a time of meeting, was a risin' moon
Angels set the table with candles and beer
Heard that midnight train moan miles away from here

[Verse 2]
Lay me down a pallet, lay it soft and low
Lorraine lay beside me, sad I had to go
The gypsy boy I traveled with played his old guitar
We watched that candle flicker like some low morning star

[Bridge 2]
But a time to part must always come, time the bells must ring
Time for lovers to say goodnight, I'll see you in my dreams
Time to part must always come, time when trade-winds sing
Time to hit the road again, time for travelin'
