Times a wasting days are short
at night I'm rolling in my sleep
I got a heart that's made for moving
the gravel goes by fast
my feet ain't made for standing
I got no favorite coffee shop
where the folks know who I am
a car and a full tank of gas
my suit case has had it share of traveling
I'm hoping to see a brand new path
a whole new way and a ray of light
Cause I'm scared that my truth of darkness will corner me at last

Chorus

So I've always ran but I can't out run myself
The call me the traveler the man without a map
But the world is a circle
and I wish it could be flat

Cause I can only go so far before I find myself right back
Where I started with a wife that has no ring
where I started with a son that don't know my name
Where I started you know I never finished anything
So I keep on running thinking I can escape my past
then I find myself right back
The songs the birds sing are growing faint
the lights are dimming at my window
My feet ain't strong no more for running
My chair has become my home I'm trapped with just my thoughts
there's not a day that don't go by that I didn't wish I had another start

Chorus

Cause I've always ran but I can't out run myself
The called me the traveler the man without a map
But the world is a circle
it ain't never been flat
So I can only go so far
before I find myself right back
Cause I've always ran but I can't out run myself
They called me the traveler
the man without a map
But the world is a circle
and it ain't never been flat
so I can only go so far before I find myself right back
where I started with a wife that has not ring
where I started with a son that don't know my name
Where I started you know I never finished anything
So I kept on running
you know I kept on running
you know I kept on running
thinking I can escape my past but then I find myself right back
