Traveling Grey Lyrics - Jerry Leger

Coffee's ready, waiting in the kitchen 

Marie takes in the morning air 

Feels the biting wind, comes back in to her chair 

Father does something 

Says, "Marie, I'm so proud of you 

How can I make you feel more free 

More alive, more new?, like you want to 

I'll give you all my money 

The keys to the car 

Daddy's little girl gonna go real far 

I see a big wide world 

You could have all your own 

Only trouble is with leaving home 

You gotta find someone to keep you warm 

Down three blocks in a court house 

A man looks down at his boots 

Tugs on the lace knot, judge tugs on the noose 

Gives his verdict, throws all the books away 

Wants everything settled and he wants it today 

Shouts, "I got you pinned between the truth 

And whatever I say 

And the truth, it ain't much use for you" 

I don't need the truth for when I close my eyes 

I'll be so faraway, on the rise 

I see another big wide world 

You don't even know 

And I won't mind the cold on my nose 

If I have someone to keep me warm 

Somewhere in the middle of life 

Marie does whatever she cares 

There's a tall man she understands 

Pushing back her hair 

He looks down at her boots 

Dirty with a travel grey 

Says, "Babe, we're on the run 

And we gotta keep it that way 

You see back home we were two children at play 

And they never knew 

We were together, me and you 

We'll have our fun, new people to meet 

In coffee bars and rooms that keep things discreat 

It's our big wide world 

And every morning we've earned 

Here you can start again, be reborn 

But you gotta have someone to keep you warm
