"Traveling Trouble Blues" lyrics

That boat can take you up the river
And it might even take you 'cross the sea
But there's no way to run away forever
I know 'cause trouble always follows me

That train can only take you to the station
But soon it's gonna run right out of track
These blues that you've been dodging will be waitin'
They've been there all along behind your back

You can run and you can hide
Go burning up the miles
There's a million ways to try
To get away
Who you gonna tell a lie?
Who you looking in the eye
When you finally face your face on judgment day?

That tank of gas may get you down the highway
That car can only take you so far
Interstate or some old dusty byway
You're always gonna end up where you are

Yeah, you can run and you can hide
Go burning up the miles
There's a million ways to try
To get away
Who you gonna tell a lie?
Who you looking in the eye
When you finally face your face on judgment day?

Boats been known to sink out on the ocean
Old locomotives rusting on the rails
The finest car will someday blow the engine
With all that running, chasing your own tail, oh
