Time for Travelin' - Joe Ely

I came into Atlanta

Dreamin' of Lorraine

Came so tired of ridin'

Cross the Savanna Plain

Still feel the wheels a-rollin'

Feel them just the same

Steel wheels still a-rollin'

On a long night train

She met me at the station

Took me to her room

Was a time of meeting

Was a risin' moon

Angels set the table

With candles and beer

Heard that midnight train moan

Miles away from here

Instrumental Chorus

Lay me down a pallet

Lay it soft and low

Lorraine lay beside me

Sad I had to go

Gypsy boy I traveled with

Played his old guitar

We watched that candle flicker

Like some low morning star

But the time to part must always come

Time the bells must ring

Time for lovers to say goodnight

I’ll see you in my dreams

Time to part must always come

Time when trade-winds sing

Time to hit the road again

Time for travelin'
