Tradewinds
Words and music by Ryan Michael Galloway
I am a road warrior,
a traveling seller
I've sought sanctuary and tried to slow down but I can't
It all seems so elusive
So I put on a smile
and I live on a cell phone
I push all the limits; "never say die" is my chant
Results are inconclusive
Captain, fire up
these engines quickly
Head down the runway, the sooner we take off we'll land
Can't even hear my heart beating
I already miss my
spouse and my family
But you do what you have to to be the last one who stands
Another town, another meeting
(Chorus)
Ask probing questions and make the right pitch
The resistance will fall like a stone
If I could just raise my sales (sails?)
These trade winds will carry me home
So I'm walking down
a mountain pathway
So high in the air that I can touch the sky with my hands
Smell of pine trees in my nose
Then I wake up,
I'm in some hotel room
In a city somewehre that is Godforsaken and damned
Again I slept in my clothes
