I grew up thinking you work hard to be a doctor or a lawyer Get married, have some babies, and plant your roots down in the ground But I turned all that upside down I'm in a traveling band Playing music on a stage We run down the highway in a van See where the dream takes us today I keep leaving pieces of my heart In all these towns that feel like home I can't help that I'm a traveler It's in my veins, it's in my bones I'm not afraid to stop, it's just that I was born to go I know that I'll see you again down the road I fit my whole life in a suitcase, and I carry my guitar And all these songs inside my head They are my flashlight in the dark Bring me back when I drift too far There's so much I wanna see So many places left to go I don't wanna miss a thing So, I keep watching out the window I keep leaving pieces of my heart In all these towns that feel like home I can't help that I'm a traveler It's in my veins, it's in my bones I'm not afraid to stop, it's just that I was born to go I know that I'll see you again down the road Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh I keep leaving pieces of my heart In all these towns that feel like home I can't help that I'm a traveler It's in my veins, it's in my bones I'm not afraid to stop, it's just that I was born to go I know that I'll see you again down the road, yeah I keep leaving pieces of my heart In all these towns that feel like home I leave it up there on that hook, just hanging like a coat So, if you find it and you're cold, well, put it on and say "hello" I know that I'll see you again down the road I know that I'll see you again down the road, yeah I keep leaving pieces of my heart down the road
