Lightly Lyrics
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
