Lyrics:

A Dmaj7

Watch my back and light my way

Fm E A

My traveling star, my traveling star

A Dmaj7

Watch over all of those born St. Christopher's Day

Fm E A

Old road dog, young runaway

A Asus4 Dmaj7

They hunger for home but they cannot stay

Dm

They wait by the door

Fm

They stand and they stare

Dmaj7

They're already out of there

Fm E A

They're already out of there

A Dmaj7

My daddy used to ride the rails

Fm E A

So they say, so they say

A Dmaj7

Soft as smoke and as tough as nails

Fm E A

Boxcar Jones, old walking man

A Asus4 Dmaj7

Coming back home was like going to jail

Dm Fm

The sheets and the blankets and babies and all

Dmaj7

No he never did come back home

Fm E A

Never that I recall

Aadd9 E Aadd9

Nevermind the wind

E Aadd9

Nevermind the rain

E Aadd9

Nevermind the road

E Aadd9

leading home again

Fm E Aadd9

Never asking why

E Fm

Never knowing when

E Fm

Every now and then

E A

There he goes again

A Dmaj7

She had a cat and a dog named Blue

Fm E A

My traveling star, my traveling star

Dmaj7

A big old stove and a fireplace, too

Fm E A

Old road dog, young runaway

Asus4 Dmaj7

She told me she loved me like it was true

Dm

I knew I should stay

Fm

I knew I would go

Dmaj7

Run run run away

Fm E A

Run run run away, boy

Aadd9 E Aadd9

Run before the wind

E Aadd9

Run before the rain

E Aadd9

Over yonder hill

E Aadd9

Just around the bend

Fm E Fm

Never knowing why

E Fm

Never knowing when

E Fm

Every now and then

E A

There you go again

A Dmaj7

Tie me up and hold me down

Fm E A

Oh, my traveling star

Dmaj7

Bury my feet down in the ground

Fm E A

Oh, old road dog

Asus4 Dmaj7

Claim my name from the lost and found

Dm Fm

And let me believe this is where I belong

Dmaj7

Shame on me for sure

Fm E A Aadd9 A

For one more highway song

Asus Fm E A Aadd9 A Asus Fm E A

My traveling star My traveling star
