I heard you’re goin’ on a joumey And your route is laid out plain Goin’ where the sun shines every day No more heartache, no more pain
Don’t you pack those bags too full, my friend, Make sure you’re travellin’ light But take enough of my love with you To keep you warm at night
And I could be singin’ this song Long after you’re gone And I could be singin’ this song Long after you’re gone
I hope that journey takes you everywhere That you ever wanted to go Hope the bad bits go past real quick And the good times roll real slow
And I could be singin’ this song Long after you’re gone And I could be singin’ this song Long after you’re gone
Now the heavens are weeping And I will not be sleeping tonight I'll pray to that unseen star That no matter where you are You’re gonna be alright
‘Cause we’re all on some kind of joumey Tomorrow I could be leaving too But wherever I end up going, babe, I’ll take a little piece of you
You could be singin’ this song Long after I’m gone And I could be singin’ this song Long after you’re gone Someone will be singin’ this song Long after we’re both gone
