Traveller Lyrics

Born in '57, one of Virginia's best
By the time he reaches spring time
He stood hands above the rest
And I know we're 'lowed to leave him
Feel the pull of the reigns

He came from Carolina
Knew his life was gonna change
Those pastures fill the barn floor
They would never be the same
To him there was no black and white
No, everything was gray

Never wavered thru the cannon smoke and thunder
There aint no time for lookin' back I never questioned the orders from the old man
The hopes of a nation on his back

He will never answer that battle call again
Gone home with his brothers
He's a soldier till the end
And the grass was never greener
Nor the water so clear

Never wavered thru the cannon smoke and thunder
There aint no time for lookin' back
I never questioned the orders from the old man
The hopes of a nation on his back
Yeah
