I’m walkin’ through this land of pain,
Down by the river of tears,
And a storm is raging and a flash of light appears,
I thought I heard an angel calling,
And the clouds began to clear.
I’m movin’ it down to the road within me.
But I don’t know where I’m going,
But I know where I’ve been and I was lost and lonely then.
I’m keepin’ it on the road to sunshine,
‘Cause there’s better days ahead.
I got the wandering blues, gonna be on my way.
Don’t know when I’ll be leavin’ baby,
There’s got to be a change.
I got to travel alone till I come home.
I believe it’s all about a love call,
Givin’ me the strength,
To carry on when all I can do is pray,
That somewhere down the road to freedom,
I will find my way.
I got the wandering blues, gonna be on my way,
Don’t know when I’ll be leavin’ baby,
There’s got to be a change.
I got to travel alone till I come home.
