Traveller Album version
You said that you're finally ready to stay for a while
Leave all your rambling ways, live in this town
But you still gotta drop that New Southern Wales on your tongue
Well I don't think you're ready to stay, just not ready to run

This town, when it grabs you, can nail you right down to the floor
Like a dream where you're reaching, but just keep on missing the door
It's a slow change of pace, now I know that you already know
I don't think you're ready to stay, just not ready to go

Now I know that old highway
Is calling your name
The wind and the river
That constantly flows the same way

This cold, frozen city, it don't make it easy on roots
And you still got the enemy's dust on your traveller's boots
The winter don't last, just like homesickness, money or booze
In a few months' more time, I'll be hitting that dusty trail too

Now I know that old highway
Is calling your name
On the wind and the river
That constantly flows the same way
You said that you're finally ready to stay for a while
Leave all your rambling ways, live in this town
But you still got a drop of that New Southern Wales on your tongue
Well I don't think you're ready to stay, just not ready to run
Not ready to run
Not ready to run
