Emmylou Harris - The Traveling Kind Lyrics
We don't all die young to save our spark
From the ravages of time
But the first and last to leave their mark
Someday become the traveling kind
Some were friends of yours and mine
And to those unsung, we lift our glass
May their songs become the traveling kind
We were born to brave this tilted world
With our hearts laid on the line
Be it way-crossed boy or red dirt girl
The song becomes the traveling kind
There are mountains worth their weight in gold
Come ye tipsy, sainted, sinners both
And claim them for the traveling kind
When the music slowly starts to fade
Into the light's last soft decline
Let us lie down in that evening shade
And rest among the traveling kind
And the song goes on for the traveling kind

Emmylou Harris The Traveling Kind Comments
A truly awesome piece of music. The “Waycross boy” would be proud.
I have this cd and what a beautiful bunch of songs, harmonies and lyrics. Definitely, Emmylou and Rodney compliment one another when they sing, play or write the songs. A fantastic album although a long time coming, well worth the wait.
Never has the thread of two collaborators product been so suitable to each other as in this tune and the characters Jim Burden and Ántonia Shemerda. Cheers to all, including Willa-the original red dirt girl.
1:13 is everything
As the Oak Ridge Boys said, "Heaven is a girl named Emmylou."
oh so lovely warm tender light
What incredible music! Thank you Emmylou and Rodney.
When am I going to learn?! Every time I say this is the best thing these two have done....well - you know what - THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST THING THEY'VE DONE!! I'll settle for being wrong if you two want to keep playing together though!
Superb recording.
one of the best ever!
Grammy worthy, for sure

Love Emmylou & Rodney they are very good singing together.I like them very much.
I'm seeing them in Sydney late June.
Outstanding! They never disappoint!
Absolutely beautiful
So beautiful, as always, with the incomparable Emmylou. Can't wait for the album
Oh yes!!! I will be getting this album too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simply, lovely country/folksy which goes not to my heart but for this old 60's kid now in his 60's, goes right through it. Bravo!
I have my tickets for Melbourne Australia June 25th.
It can't come soon enough........Many thanks to 1000Magicians for the heads-up on the concert......Such beautiful music and wonderful songs over so many years.It somehow keeps getting better....
Roll on 12th May!!!
Just when I think there can't be any more of the best---here is more of the best. Thanks to both of you.
Judi
Oh, yes, this will be part of my repertoire. Classic . . . . thank you!!
Emmy Lou has long been my soul mate - I'm digging Rodney too - together they make beautiful music. I'm thrilled to hear the beautiful title song and can't wait for the whole album!
I will go see them July 1 when they are on the Gold Coast, Australia I can't wait.
Life does not get better than this. Listening to Emmylou and Rodney just makes my day.
Cody Colter (Cowboy)
I'm in. If the rest of the album is as good as this it ought to get nominated for a grammy. Emmylou is still the best and Rodney's no slouch. Sounds like Ricky Skaggs on the mandolin.
I love it...
BE IT WAYCROSS BOY OR RED DIRT GIRL....OH HELL YEAH...
Very nice...
