Since I left Chicago I've had no place to go And I just can't go back My love my blood's on the tracks As this train heads south All my bags I travel without Dockery Farm is where I'll rest I'm gonna become the very best Got a woman in New Orleans A gypsy of the red light scene When I get there she'll know That I've been to the crossroads Pass my dad in Hazelhurst His wood shack crumbling into the dirt Someday I'll ride into town And burn my old house down Since I left Chicago I've been just running around Not looking for anything just trying to drown out the sound Of a life that follows me down Of love that I haven't found But silence is all I hear Though my life's getting near Well it wasn't in Greece No it wasn't in Spain And when I got to Rome I'd learned to drown out the pain Been around the world but I've found no clues There's nothing just quite like one man's traveling blues Well everywhere that I've been I hear her name on the wind You know I can't stay too long The train passes through at dawn Though I've got nowhere to be I'm just going to go There's something calling on me But what it is I don't know It's been 40 years since the start of the story I tell For every word about me there's 10 about somebody else But every part of it's true From first love to the noose Now I just wait for the end A long ride with an old friend Some look back in regret At life's fallout with romance But it's so easy to forget When you never had a chance
