about

Traveling Song is probably the most rewritten song on the CD, which makes it the second newest. The music came into being sometime in 2012, with the idea of being a protest song. But since I'm mostly apolitical, it was hard to make a convincing argument for any political point of view other than it's better than anything else...so...whatever. Luckily, the last verse and part of the chorus contained some ideas that after a trip through Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, South Dakota, and back through Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana gelled into a pretty nice song reminiscent of the swing or Big Band style of music that we like to play for senior centers.

lyrics

The Traveling Song
(Farley & Perdzock)
Thinking ‘bout the places that we’ve been and haven’t yet
Some we can’t remember, and some we can’t forget
Some are destinations, others accidents
Some take reservations, others common sense
Traveling to mountain, beach, and town
Wonder if we’ll ever settle down

We can winter camping near the Gulf of Mexico
And summer in Montana till the skies begin to snow
Autumn’s falling leaves will find us someplace close to home
Springtime’s when we like to get into the car and roam

We could take a train to a boardwalk town
We could fly to Vegas lay some money down
Or drive an RV to a mountain top
We could read a book lying on the beach
Till it got too dark for the words to reach
Our eyes and even then we might not stop

We could blast off in a rocket ship to Mars, but it's too far
As well as way too cold, believe me I know how you are
And if we choose to stay on earth, the oxygen is free
As long as you are there, then anywhere’s all right with me
