Travelers Way: Eighth track on the Everywhere with You debut album from Stone Atlas.
This is yet another traveling tune on the band's arsenal of wanderlust inspired stories that will make you go out and book your next adventure.
Travelers Way was written by BAKER while living in a garage in Santa Cruz CA. Lyrics talk about the characters met in unique places, coastlines along California's PCH, the unexpected hardships that are associated with being on the road, but mostly the freedom and joy that only traveling can offer. An ode to Monterey Bay and the west coast journey that the writer took, this song will remind you of any place that truly moved you while traveling.
lyrics
You know a friend when one comes around
You can see true, through all judgments and sound
Sticking your hand for a stranger far away
They feel for the travelers with no home to lay
So we stopped to check out, they said check in
I caught a glimpse of the life and I started to grin
A lady said, keep on playing this way
So I picked a fine tune, and they all stated to sway
[Chorus]
Hey, hey
It's the traveler’s way
Meeting greeting speaking, every hour, every day
Hey, Hey
Where the travelers stay
Up coastlines, through valleys, floating in the bay
Took a trip out of town to find some truth
Ended up I had to leave, to find any proof
Of people’s existence, shouting love to the heavens
Even when harsh reality beats down, not ten times but eleven
I found a house of many colors, so vibrant and bright
On the side of the one, a drive of many sights
Friendly people there, danced, sang, and laughed
At this dream of all chaos, like a wild river with no raft
[Chorus]
[Slow Bridge]
The soul-searching road can be long a weary
Must be alert when others are dreary
Sculpting the mind into who you will be
Travelers road is waiting,
none should fear
And be free, be free
[Chorus]
Coastlines through valleys floating in the bay
Coastlines through valleys in the bay
