[Verse 1]
D
I grew up in a little town
A southern mix of lost and found
A G
Where most folks seem to stick around
D
But I could hear the highway song
I'd sit out on the dock till dawn
A G
And dream about the great beyond
[Chorus]
(I dreamed that I was)
D
A world traveler
G
Set me loose to find my way
Bm
Just get me out on the road someday
A
With my sails unfurled
D
So many mysteries
G
I wanted to unravel
Bm D
If I could travel the world
[Verse 2]
D
Soon enough I had my way
I saw the world the Lord has made
A G
Mostly from the interstate
D
But I had hardly seen a thing
Until I gave a golden ring
A G
To the one who gave her heart to me
[Chorus]
(And I became)
D
A world traveler
G
That's the day I hit the road
Bm
'Cause I walked the hills of the human soul
A
Of a tender girl
D
I'm a world traveler
G
She opened the gate and took my hand
Bm
And led me into the mystic land
A
Where her galaxies swirl
D
So many mysteries
G
I never will unravel
Bm
I want to travel the world
[Bridge]
D
Take a left at the end of my street
Bm
Just a few doors down
D
Up the hill and into the trees
Bm
There's a hole in the ground
D
Where we traveled the caverns so deep
Bm
We wandered the wonders so wide
D
It was right beneath our feet
Bm D
All this time, all this time
[Verse 3]
D
Tonight I saw the children in their rooms
Little flowers all in bloom
A G
Burning suns and silver moon
D
And somehow in that starry sky
The image of the Maker lies
A G
Right here beneath my roof tonight
[Chorus]
(So hold on tight, I'm a)
D
World traveler
G
Pack yours bags and dig down deep
Bm
Let's ride the storms and sail the seas
A
To the distant pole
D
I'm a world traveler
G
Into these uncharted lands
Bm
To blaze a trail in the vast expanse
A
Of the heart and soul
D
In the grace of the God of peace
G
Let's wade into the battle
D
Come on, come on with me
G
And get up in that saddle
D
There's a million mysteries
G
I never will unravel
Bm D
Come on, let's travel the world
