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

Let's wade into the battle
D MajorD
Come on, come on with me

And get up in that saddle
D MajorD
There's a million mysteries
G+G
I never will unravel
B minorBm D MajorD
Come on, let's travel the world
