Trying to Get to You - Roy Orbison, 1

Well I’ve been traveling over mountains

Even through the valleys, too

Well I’ve been traveling night and day

Running all the way

Baby, trying to get to you

Ever since I read your letter

Where you said you loved me true

I’ve been traveling night and day

Running all the way

Baby, trying to get to you, oh love

Well when I read your loving letter, yeah

Then my heart began to sing

There were many miles between us, baby

But they didn’t mean a thing, no no

If I had to do it over and over and over

It’s exactly what I’d do

I would travel night and day

Still run all the way

Baby, trying to get to you

Hold on baby, I’m coming, yeah

Well, there’s nothing that could hold me

Or could keep me away from you

When your loving letter told me baby

That you really loved me true, yeah no

Well I’ve just got to get to you, baby

In spite of all that I’ve been through

When my way was dark as night

Lord of love would shine his brightest light

When I was trying to get to you, oh baby

Now I’m standing in his fool box

On a lonely dessert highway

And at 25 cents to get to you

No chance, no, no

When my way was dark as night

Lord of love would shine his brightest light

When I was trying to get to you

Well I’ve been traveling over mountains
