Well, you've been standing on the corner for a thousand nights. Slowest corner known to man
Watching strange faces pass beneath the light with a bottle waving in your hand
You got just enough money for some nothing to go. This ain't exactly what you planned
So lonesome that can’t even say hello, and no one seems to understand
So you’re a mixed-up kid, come and join the crowd
The ones who only fit, well they are not allowed
You’re out on the streets and your feeling blue. Traveling Light
You got a hole in your soul where the wind blows through
You got a holе in your soul where the wind blows through
So you wandеred away from your childhood home. No one cared to trace the tracks you made
You travel by night and you travel alone. Came to rest at a penny arcade
Now the last shot is over on a Saturday night. You wake in the beam of a cop's flashlight
He asks who you are like you knew or you cared. He’s asking where you are and just say no-where
Mixed up kid, come and join the crowd
The ones who only fit, well they are not allowed
You’re out on the streets and your feeling blue. Traveling Light
You got a hole in your soul where the wind blows through
You got a hole in your soul where the wind blows through
BRIDGE:
Traveling light are your big mistake, & the trouble that you got will be your saving grace
A prayer and a chance, from out of the blue. Asking for a miracle to see you through
I don’t know where I got it, but I got it the same. It’s a feeling that can rip you apart
Follows me around like a part of my name. Like I’m born with a time bomb instead of a heart
Mixed-up kid is here to join the crowd
The ones who only fit, well they are not allowed
You’re out on the streets and your feeling blue. Traveling Light
You got a hole in your soul where the wind blows through
You got a hole in your soul where the wind blows through
