Sing A Travelin\' Song - Live Version歌词

One of the songs in the new album
"Hello I'm Johnny Cash"
was written by a young man ,15 years old,
Kenny Jones(1952-1969),
who was the son of Helen Carter.
We do this song tonight as a tribute
to Kenny Jones who was killed in an
automobile accident at the age of 16.
And to give you an idea of the talents of this
young man while he was with us.
Here was a song that he wrote when he was 14.
Hey little girl, with tears in your eyes
Don't waste your time now, askin' me why
I don't know, I know I'll just be movin' along
You'd say that home is where my love is at
I say that home is where I hang my hat
The time has come to sing a travelin' song
You own a house and a lot of close friends
I love the feel of my back to the wind
The two won't match, you know the caves so wild would be wrong
You want your friends and love, a child and a home
You can't buy love on a twenty year loan
The time has come to sing a travelin' song

Someday where we sat on that old porch swing
A tamer man might offer you a ring
A man that wants his friends and neighbors, a child and a home
Don't waste your tears on dreams that never can be
What's right for others is not right for me
The time has come to sing a travelin' song

The time has come to sing a travelin' song
