Intro: D A D

[D]You've been standin' on the corner for a thousand nights
It's the slowest corner known to [A]man

Watchin' strange faces passin' 'neath the lights
With a bottle wavin' in your [D]hand

You got just enough money for some nothin' to go
It ain't exactly what you [A]planned

So lonesome that you can't even say hello
And no one seems to understan[D]d

So you're a [G]mixed up kid, come on and [D]join the crowd
The [A]ones that only fit where they're [D]not allowed
[G]Out on the streets and you're [D]feelin' blue.....
Travelin' [G]light
With a [D]hole in your soul where the [G]wind blows through
A [D]hole in your soul where the [G]wind blows [D]through

[D]You wandered away from your childhood home
Nobody cared to trace the tracks you [A]laid

You traveled by night and you traveled alone
Came to rest at a penny ar[D]cade

Well, the last shots over on a Saturday night
You wake up in the beam of a [A]cop's flashlight

He asks you who you are as if you knew or cared
He asks you where you live and you [D]say nowhere

So you're a[G] mixed up kid, come on and[D] join the crowd
The [A]ones that only fit where they're [D]not allowed
[G]Out on the streets and you're [D]feelin' blue.....
Travelin' [G]light
With a [D]hole in your soul where the [G]wind blows through
A [D]hole in your soul where the [G]wind blows [D]through

solo (chords as verse)

[D]I don't know where I got it, but, I got it the same
It's a feelin' that'll rip you [A]apart

It follows me around like a part of my name
Like I'm born with a time bomb [D]instead of a heart

So you're a [G]mixed up kid, come on and [D]join the crowd
The [A]ones that only fit where they're [D]not allowed
[G]Out on the streets and you're [D]feelin' blue.....
Travelin' [G]light
With a [D]hole in your soul where the [G]wind blows through
A [D]hole in your soul where the [G]wind blows [D]through
With a [D]hole in your soul where the [G]wind blows through
A [D]hole in your soul where the [G]wind blows [D]through

[G]Mixed up kid, [D]join the crowd
[A]The ones that only fit, [D]not allowed
[G]Out on the streets and you're [D]feelin' blue.....
Travelin' [G]light
With a [D]hole in your soul where the [G]wind blows through
A [D]hole in your soul where the [G]wind blows [D]through
With a [D]hole in your soul where the [G]wind blows through
A [D]hole in your soul where the [G]wind blows [D]through
