Boxcar Traveler

Inspired by people with wanderlust; those who love to travel carefree; those who don't want to be tethered down. Written from the perspective of someone who does not have those desires:

Lyrics

[Verse]
Moving along through the Midwest
'Neath the sun is a girl I knew
One railroad tie further
Another step to a world I knew

[Pre Chorus]
Fear never came this time
And the tears she wiped were mine
The light from behind her silhouette
Made it so hard to see her as she left

[Chorus]
She's a boxcar traveler
On her way to a new frontier
Boxcar traveler
When I dream I can feel her near
Rolling for days in the boxcar of a train
Is my dear

[Verse ]
Her bag of clothes for a pillow
And her hopes to keep her warm
Each new day that passes
Breath in a heart reborn

[Pre Chorus]
Fear never came this time
And the tears she wiped were mine
The light from behind her silhouette
Made it so hard to see her as she left

[Chorus]
She's a boxcar traveler
On her way to a new frontier
Boxcar traveler
When I dream I can feel her near
Rolling for days in the boxcar of a train
Is my dear

[Bridge]
She felt something in her heart
I could not keep her from a brand new start

[Chorus]
She's a boxcar traveler
On her way to a new frontier
Boxcar traveler
When I dream I can feel her near
Rolling for days in the boxcar of a train
Is my dear
