Traveling On Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boys in blazers
Union labor
The last of the life boat to get on
Leering drivers
Beery lifers
And all I wanna know is when we go on
[Chorus]
'Cause we're traveling on
Sold for a song
We're traveling on
And it won't be long
'Til we're traveling on
[Verse 2]
Street-side smokers
Holy rollers
Find me a toilet to die on
L.A., London
Barely funded
Give me a wheel and I'll ride on, ride on, ride on
[Chorus]
'Cause we're traveling on
Sold for a song
We're traveling on
And it won't be long
'Til we're traveling on
We're traveling on
[Verse 3]
Fawning fanfare
Nearly nowhere
Meet the new dauphin in Duluth
No one knows you
Nations loathe you
Please let me know when I can recuse myself if I choose
[Chorus]
But we're traveling on
Sold for a song
We're traveling on
And it won't be long
We're traveling on
Sold for a song
We're traveling on
And it won't be long
'Til we're traveling on
[Outro]
We're traveling on
We're traveling on, on
