"Traveling In The Lightning" lyrics
"Traveling In The Lightning"
I was born down in Corpus Christi
With a dram glass in my hand
When I was just 15, I got a job playing rhythm
With a Nashville Shaketown band
I've been playing the blues so long
I've been paying my dues so long
I've been traveling in the lightning
Traveling in the lightning
Traveling in the wind and the rain
I've been tryin' and tryin' to find the right place again . . . yeah
Now the last time I saw my sweet old mama,
Her eyesight was looking dim
And the last I saw of my dear old daddy,
His horse was aridin' him . . . yes he was
They've been singing the blues so long
They've been singing such a sad, sad song
They've been traveling in the lightning
Traveling in the lightning
Traveling in the wind and rain
They've been tryin' and tryin' to find the right place again . . . yeah
I've been traveling in the lightning
I've been traveling in the lightning
Traveling in the lightning
Traveling in the wind and the rain
I've been tryin' and tryin' to find the right place again. . . yeah

Bob Dylan - "Subterranean Homesick Blues" Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in a trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look...
Steve Earle - "I'm Looking Through You" I'm lookin' through you where did you go
I thought I knew you what did I know
You don't look different but you have changed
I'm looking through you you're not the same
Your lips are moving I cannot...
Donovan - "Season Of The Witch" When I look out my window
Many sights to see
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
That it's strange
So strange
You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch...
Todd Rundgren - "Wolfman Jack" "hey baby, you're on a subliminal trip to nowhere.
You better get your trip together before you step in here with us!"
Full moon tonight, everything's all right
Baby come on back to Wolfman Jack...
Mott The Hoople - "Sweet Jane" Standing on the corner
Suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his corset and Jane is in her vest
And me I'm in a rock and roll band
Riding in a Stutz Bearcat Jim
Those were different times
And the poets...
