VERSE 1
There goes a traveling man
Loving LA like a one-night stand
It's hard to get there then have to leave the thrills
So, he's freezing his heart out with hundred dollar bills
There's an open microphone
At a club down the street
His old guitar wearing new strings
The traveler waits to be seen
Adrift with his clouds, aloft in his dreams
CHORUS
Taking his love, taking it backstage
Finding his love, finding it backstage
Making his of love, making it backstage
VERSE 2
City stories, highways and farms
Every other tune is a leaving song
Broken teeth and a golden hearts
With twenty years taped to his guitar
He wears his songs like a uniform
And he visits the cities like they are his children
Asleep in his van, aloft in his dreams
CHORUS
Dreaming of love, dreaming it backstage
Taking his love, taking it backstage
Making his love, making it backstage
