Travelin’ light

No momma ever treated me
Like I was her baby child
She was traveling so light
She was traveling so light
We lived so free and wild
We lived so free and wild
Double-crossed me in New Orleans
I should have never let her in
Would she forgive me in time
Would she forgive me in time
For all my wanderings
For all my wanderings
Shackled up in Canyon City
Colorado doing time
I always knew she would get caught
I always knew she would get caught
For leaving me over the line
For leaving me over the line
In the end she nearly killed me
When she shared with me
Her wine and her bed
Like two thieves in the night
Like two thieves in the night
We threw away our hearts and fled
We threw away our hearts and fled
So if you hold on to love too tightly
No peace of mind can be won
So travel on so light
Travel on so light
To the morning stars you run
To the morning stars you run
