Travelin' Teardrop Blues Songtext

von Hal Ketchum

Adios heard me callin' then I felt my spirit fallin'
Til the warm desert wind picked me up
I've been lost in all four corners,
Drifted over California
Leaving shadows on the ground like clouds above.
On my way through Arizona I begin to pinin' for ya
Red rocks run the road beside me along my way
Just like me they like to travel and they won't sit still less than I do
And I can't sit still until I get me back to you.

Pick me up like some hitchhiker
Let me ride into the wild and blue
I don't care which way I'm goin'
Long as that's the way you're goin' too
Hey I am a man with the travellin' teardrop blues.

Angel wakes up on the mesa, in the mirror makes her face up
With the paint of some red warrior in her eyes
In the dark behind a curtain on a bed of lust I loved her
While she slept I left a tear to say goodbye

Pick me up like some hitchhiker
Let me ride into the wild and blue
I don't care which way I'm goin'
Long as that's the way you're goin' too
Hey I a man with the travellin' teardrop blues
Hey I am the man with the travellin' teardrop blues.
