Travelin’ Bone Lyrics by Travis Meadows

First Cigarette

2017

[Verse 1]
I got a flesh and blood connection to the future
That made it way across the ocean floor
From the gates of Ellis Island, generations wait behind him
To see what all the travelin' was for
[Verse 2]
That spirit of my Granddad, it still lingers
The need to leave it better for my son
I keep reachin' out with calloused, hungry fingers
So he don't have to do the work I've done
[Chorus]
I've got a travelin' bone
Travelin' bone
Pushes me outside myself
Keeps me here alone
I've gotta believe there's a reason
For the leavin' and the gone
Keepin' me movin' on
Sendin' kisses on the telephone
Travelin' bone
Travelin' bone
[Verse 3]
I keep worry in my pocket with the lonesome
The weight can make the stages hard to climb
These folks out on the highway seem to like the songs that I play
But my soul stays on the things I leave behind
[Chorus]
I've got a travelin' bone
Travelin' bone
Pushes me outside myself
Keeps me here alone
I've gotta believe there's a reason
For the leavin' and the gone
Keepin' me movin' on
Sendin' kisses on the telephone
Travelin' bone
Travelin' bone
[Interlude]
[Outro]
I've gotta believe there's a reason
For the leavin' and the gone
Keepin' me movin' on
Sendin' kisses on the telephone
Travelin' bone
I've got a travelin' bone
Travelin' bone
I've got a travelin' bone
