Lyrics:
A Dmaj7
Watch my back and light my way
Fm E A
My traveling star, my traveling star
A Dmaj7
Watch over all of those born St. Christopher's Day
Fm E A
Old road dog, young runaway
A Asus4 Dmaj7
They hunger for home but they cannot stay
Dm
They wait by the door
Fm
They stand and they stare
Dmaj7
They're already out of there
Fm E A
They're already out of there
A Dmaj7
My daddy used to ride the rails
Fm E A
So they say, so they say
A Dmaj7
Soft as smoke and as tough as nails
Fm E A
Boxcar Jones, old walking man
A Asus4 Dmaj7
Coming back home was like going to jail
Dm Fm
The sheets and the blankets and babies and all
Dmaj7
No he never did come back home
Fm E A
Never that I recall
Aadd9 E Aadd9
Nevermind the wind
E Aadd9
Nevermind the rain
E Aadd9
Nevermind the road
E Aadd9
leading home again
Fm E Aadd9
Never asking why
E Fm
Never knowing when
E Fm
Every now and then
E A
There he goes again
A Dmaj7
She had a cat and a dog named Blue
Fm E A
My traveling star, my traveling star
Dmaj7
A big old stove and a fireplace, too
Fm E A
Old road dog, young runaway
Asus4 Dmaj7
She told me she loved me like it was true
Dm
I knew I should stay
Fm
I knew I would go
Dmaj7
Run run run away
Fm E A
Run run run away, boy
Aadd9 E Aadd9
Run before the wind
E Aadd9
Run before the rain
E Aadd9
Over yonder hill
E Aadd9
Just around the bend
Fm E Fm
Never knowing why
E Fm
Never knowing when
E Fm
Every now and then
E A
There you go again
A Dmaj7
Tie me up and hold me down
Fm E A
Oh, my traveling star
Dmaj7
Bury my feet down in the ground
Fm E A
Oh, old road dog
Asus4 Dmaj7
Claim my name from the lost and found
Dm Fm
And let me believe this is where I belong
Dmaj7
Shame on me for sure
Fm E A Aadd9 A
For one more highway song
Asus Fm E A Aadd9 A Asus Fm E A
My traveling star My traveling star
