We took the number six train last sunday, four and five were runnin' with delays

You said we could get to our destination on time, oh how you love those traveling days

Our first trip together we went half way 'round the world I sang you lullabies on the plane

But you tossed and you turned and you didn't get much sleep; funny how some things haven't changed

At eleven years old you ventured all by yourself across the country to New Mexico

You struggled up that mountain but you made it to the peak, you've got more strength inside you than you know

You're a travelin' boy you're a wandering soul with ten thousand rivers left to cross

You can figure out just where you are and where you're bound, I don't worry 'bout you gettin' lost

No I don't worry about you gettin' lost

You're brave and your strong, keep your cool in a jam, you're the one who knows just what to do

When lightning cracks the sky and thunder shakes the ground, your little sister she relies on you

You're happy on the road with new adventures every day, your journey's gonna last for miles and miles

Soon you'll be a man, you'll be out on your own, and I hope you come home once in a while

Everybody has to find their own way in the end, but you don't ever have to feel alone

And I want you to know that I'm always here for you, no matter how far away you roam
