Traveling Light

from That's Rough by Michael Howard

lyrics

I’ll bet theyre laughing at me
As Im looking to find myself
In a world where character is something you buy and sell
But I’ll barter my dreams for a fresh sound
Im traveling light now

My first love spoke a curse to me
She said you’re gonna go far, but you’ll get there on empty
My engine chokes out a familiar sound and Im traveling light now

Knapsack’s packed, boots on my feet
And all I want to find out there is anything but me
My debts arent paid but my spirit is sound
Im traveling light now

Its hard to say when I might come around
Stopped asking why and Im settling for how
When I arrive ill be singing this sound
Im traveling light now

when all i know is how to start a losing streak
Like im trying to touch the brakes but i need a phone book to reach
As I crash, the lights flash, the horn sounds,
And Im traveling light now

Given up the whole buffet of what I want,
The band, the girls, the bottle of gutrot
All to be a servant to the sound
Im traveling light now

My first love…
