LYRICS
== Verse 1 ==
There once was a man,
His name was Johnny
He traveled up and down the land,
With the deadly heat following
==
Until one mornin',
He came across a bar
He went in, settled in
And exposed his guitar
==
As he began to play,
The crowd noticed his harmonic power
Then he started to say,
Why he's known as The Traveler
==== Chorus ====
Well, I've been past an' across this land
With never a thought to ever cower (and I)
Never knew a helpin' hand,
Don't �member the last time I showered!
==
So if you'll please excuse my stench,
With it's eye-wincing, awful power
You'll never see me hitch,
And that's why they call me The Traveler
== Verse 2 ==
Gazin' at all the people below him,
Johnny stood, an' put his guitar away
A man approached and asked, "where ya goin'?"
He just smiled and said, "I can't stay"
==
Walkin' 'cross the threshold,
He nods to the bartender
Shufflin' through so bold,
He's unexpectedly hindered
==
A little boy, age 8,
Says, "Please sir, don't go,
Your song was great!"
He says, "sorry, but I must travel this road"
==== Chorus ====
Cuz' I've been past an' across this land,
With never a thought to ever cower (and I)
Never knew a helpin' hand,
Don't �member the last time I showered!
==
So if you'll please excuse my stench,
With it's eye-wincing, awful power
You'll never see me hitch,
And that's why they call me The Traveler
== Verse 3 ==
Ever since the day he went through that door,
Leavin' behind all those men,
Johnny was never seen anymore�
He was never seen again
==
Until one mornin',
He came across a bar
He went in, settled in,
And exposed his guitar
==
As he began to play,
The crowd noticed his harmonic power
Then he started to say,
Why he's known as The Traveler
==== Chorus ====
Well, I've been past an' across this land
With never a thought to ever cower (and I)
Never knew a helpin' hand,
Don't �member the last time I showered!
==
So if you'll please excuse my stench,
With it's eye-wincing, awful power
You'll never see me hitch,
And that's why they call me The Traveler
