World Traveler

Well, I grew up in a little town
A southern mix of lost and found
Where most folks seem to stick around, whoa

But I could hear the highway song
I'd sit out on the dock till dawn
And dream about the great beyond

I dreamed that I was a world traveler
Set me loose to find my way
Just get me out on the road someday
With my sails unfurled

So many mysteries I wanted to unravel
If I could travel the world

And soon enough I had my way
I saw the world the Lord has made
Mostly from the interstate, whoa

But I had hardly seen a thing
Until I gave that golden ring
To the one who gave her heart to me

And I became a world traveler
That's the day I hit the road
I walked the hills of the human soul
Of a tender girl

I'm a world traveler
She opened the gate and took my hand
Led me into the mystic land
Where her galaxies swirl

So many mysteries I never will unravel
I want to travel the world

Take a left at the end of my street
Just a few doors down
Up the hill and into the trees
There's a hole in the ground

Where we traveled the caverns so deep
Wandered the wonders so wide
It was right beneath our feet
All this time, all this time

Well, tonight I saw the children in their rooms
Little flowers all in bloom
Burning suns and silver moon

And somehow in those starry skies
The image of the Maker lies
Right here beneath my roof tonight

So hold on tight, I'm a world traveler, yeah

Oh, I'm a world traveler
Pack your bags and dig down deep
Ride the storms and sail the seas
To the distant pole

I'm a world traveler
Into these uncharted lands
To blaze a trail in the vast expanse
Of the heart and soul

In the grace of the God of peace
Let's wade into the battle
So come on, come on with me
And get up in that saddle

There's a million mysteries I'm ready to unravel
Come on, let's travel the world

So come on, come on with me now
I want to travel the world
So come on, come on with me
