I am just a traveling man

Alone and in my shell

Beaten by these broken times

Wandering through this hell

And I have taken chances

And I've lost all my rules

The answer's right in front of me

And I have been a fool

I keep taking the long way around

Why must I take the long way around

I keep thinkin' that I'm moving up

When I'm losing my ground

Why must I take the long way

The long way around

All I ever wanted

In this life was to be pure

Seduced by colors in my eyes

Taken by the hand

Of all the things I've ever wanted

Of all the treasures in my life

The greatest is the mind

So why do I take the long way around

Why must I take the long way around

I keep thinking that I'm moving up

When I'm losing my ground

Why must I take the long way

The long way around

He told me what's the cost

But only when the path is lost

And whoever found an open door

In this ocean of suffering

If I've had anything

I don't want to hide from me no more

I am just a traveling man

Alone and in my shell

Beaten by these broken times

Wandering through this hell

And I have taken chances

I've lost all my rules

The answer is right in front of me

I have been a fool

I keep taking the long way around

Why must I take the long way around

I keep thinking that I'm moving up

When I"m losing my ground

I keep taking the long way

The long way around

I keep taking the long around

I keep taking the long around

I keep thinking that I'm moving up

When I'm losing my ground

I keep taking the long way

The long way around
