Traveling Light Lyrics
[Refrain]
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
[Verse 1]
I'm traveling light, it's au revoir
My once so bright, my fallen star
I'm running late, they'll close the bar
I used to play one mean guitar
I guess I'm just somebody who
Has given up on the me and you
I'm not alone, I've met a few
Traveling light, like we used to do
[Refrain]
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
Good night, good night, my fallen star
I guess you're right, you always are
I know you're right about the blues
You live some life you'd never choose
I'm just a fool, a dreamer who
Forgot to dream of the me and you
I'm not alone, I've met a few
Traveling light, like we used to do
[Refrain]
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
[Verse 3]
Traveling light, it's au revoir
My once so bright, my fallen star
I'm running late, they'll close the bar
I used to play one mean guitar
I guess I'm just somebody who
Has given up on the me and you
I'm not alone, I've met a few
Traveling light, like we used to do
[Outro]
But if the road leads back to you
Must I forget the things I knew
When I was friends with one or two
Traveling light, like we used to do
I'm traveling light
[Refrain]
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
