What can you see with your ear on the ground Try to lift up your feet, girl, and take a look around Let me see your eyes girl We've got to make them big If you'd like to see the truth I better tighten up your wig Your mind is too narrow, and it's no surprise If you fell on a pin, well, you'd be blind in both eyes Oh, let me see your head, girl, we've got to make it big Until your ears come apart, I better tighten up your wig Watch out for the lunch bunch, they'll try to bring you down Don't get hung up in the shower, baby, you might drown Oh yeah, oh, your head looks kinda big Before I loose you mind, girl, I better tighten up your wig Just before we go, I'd like to mention Junior Wells We stole his thing from him, and he from someone else Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he plays the blues like few before May he play forevermore

Yo every day of my life I've been traveling Went here, went there, came back again A little look at what's happening I like to sit at the back having a laugh with friends Packing a pen, some gin, and then some Don't need a reason to spend my income And to a degree we all share the symptoms Coz we know it can end in an instant Seeing how it goes. I'm looking out the window With the eyes of the sinner and the little I know Look for a beginning in the big cosmos But my soul's got a big pothole, get it I used to get my dope on credit And some folks might say I'm so pathetic But then again I think you over-edit And man why? It's just a ride I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler Well I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I've been a traveling on Yo wherever I be I've come to realize Somewhere deep inside me is whatever i need Try to do better, try to feel erie Try to put it together man, piece by piece Just wanna breathe, feel my limbs move Just wanna go somewhere, see what they're into I feel like celebrating something that sings Something sensible we all can drink to Coz it's all waves and motion And everywhere is just a place to go from And everybody's just stars and dust And a heartbeat a part that can harbor us But I guess that we thought that was not enough And only wished for the ports that were far as fuck Tried the stars for luck and got lost in the darkness Still though home's where the heart is I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler Well I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I've been a traveling on I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler Well I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I've been a traveling on I travel across every time zone Everywhere that I go I feel like home But I know I'll be back to Oslo Coz I know that I wont make it alone Yo I never had a ride like this before I've got the whole world spinning like a disco ball And it's all so mystical They've got a whole fist-full of love But still they're miserable Can't we all just get along? And settle for peaceful You see the medicine's imbedded in people And it's incredible. We're ever so see-through You see what we all need to Is take a little bit and make it just a little bit longer See we're living in a miracle it's really much warmer And it's silly shouldn't really let your miseries own ya Man I'd rather be a traveling loner I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler Well I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I've been a traveling on I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler Well I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler I've been a traveling on I've been traveling By my lonely I'll keep traveling Going homewards I've been traveling By my lonely I'll keep traveling Going homewards
