Well Traveled Road by norrisong published on 2014-09-22T15:22:07Z Well Traveled Road (Norris, Mouch) You can tell my old man’s age by the lines on his face Each one tells story, some he’d rather erase I ain’t never seen him cry, but they say eyes don’t lie And his are blue even though they’re brown He said you can’t walk on tears boy And you’ll never see me drown He shook like a man with his leathered hands His word built on gold, not in the sand He always blamed church for this world of hurt But there’s a bible by the edge of his bed. Didn’t know where he was going But he knew where he was led God bless his soul He’s a well traveled road The highway’s his home He’s a Rolling Stone You can tell where he’s been By the ink on his skin Some say he was out of control Please guide him oh Lord He’s just a well traveled road There’s a trail of black through the haze To that hole where daddy was laid Yeah, he still led us on right up to the grave He finally slowed down, when we put him underground On the day of his reckoning We all gathered round And like a church choir we sang God bless his soul He’s a well traveled road The highway’s his home He’s a Rolling Stone You can tell where he’s been By the ink on his skin Some say he was out of control Please guide him oh Lord He’s just a well traveled road Genre Blues Comment by robinrendell 'You can't walk on tears, boy' - great line and wonderful image. 2017-04-14T09:42:14Z
