Lightly

Met her on a Tuesday
 Went out on a Friday night
 Said she was lookin' for a love affair
 And I was lookin' for a getaway flight
 So we packed up a bag
 And hailed up a cab
 And I grabbed my guitar because
 It was the only thing that I had
 Well I learned to travel lightly
 Babe, livin' alone
 Some say that it's the hard way, mama
 But it's all that I've known
 And if I move fast enough, hopefully
 Oh the darkness can't catch up to me
 Hey, Hey, Hey
 So we headed off the mainland
 With the beating of a drum
 She turned and smiled and said, honey
 Where you from?
 I said I'm from all over
 But I was born in the wind
 She turned and smiled and said
 You're goin' home again
 Well I learned to travel lightly
 Livin' alone
 Some say that it's the hard way, mama
 But it's all that I've known
 And if I move fast enough, hopefully
 Oh the darkness can't catch up to me
 Hey, Hey, Hey
 Oh I hear that train
 A comin' around the bend
 Oh in the morning I'll be
 Runnin' away again
 Runnin' away, runnin' away again
 When she woke up in the morning
 With the rising sun
 In her heart she knew
 I'd be gone
 But I wrote her a letter
 With the words to this song
 She read it on the balcony
 While the wind was strong
 Well I learned to travel lightly
 Cause I was born alone
 Some say that it's the hard way, mama
 But it's all that I've known
 And if I move fast enough, hopefully
 Oh the darkness won't catch up to me
 Hey, Hey, Hey
