Jerry Leger - Traveling Grey lyrics

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
