Lyrics
Well I'm just a lonely traveler and I don't know where I'm bound

I'll climb high atop a mountain, call for he who holds the crown
Desiring spiritual or authoritative guidance, contemplating seeking answers from a higher power represented by the one who holds the crown.
But until that day, keep on wanderin'

Now, my father was a traveler and my mama stayed at home

And she cried the day that he walked out and left us on our own

But now I'm older than he was when I was born and I don't know
