[Verse 1]
D                A     G   
I grew up in a little town
   D                         A
A southern mix of lost and found
      G                                 A
Where most folks seem to stick around, Woah
    D                  A      G 
But I could hear the highway song
     D                        A
I'd sit out on the dock till dawn
      G               A          G               
And dream about the great beyond


[Chorus]
               A
I dreamed that I was
    D
A world traveler
G                 A
Set me loose to find my way
      D
Just get me out on the road someday
       G         A
With my sails unfurled
Bm       D 
So many mysteries
   G                 A
I wanted to unravel
                            D
If I could travel the world

[Verse 2]
D             A       G
Soon enough I had my way
   D                          A 
I saw the world the Lord has made
G                             A
Mostly from the interstate, Whoah
    D             A      G 
But I had hardly seen a thing
   D                   A
Until I gave a golden ring
        G                 A        G
To the one who gave her heart to me


[Chorus]
    A  
And I became
   D
A world traveler
G                 A
That's the day I hit the road
          D     
'Cause I walked the hills of the human soul
       G      A 
Of a tender girl
      Bm      D
I'm a world traveler
     G                   A
She opened the gate and took my hand
D
Led me into the mystic land
     G     A
Where galaxies swirl
Bm      D     
So many mysteries
   G                A
I never will unravel
                          Bm D G
I want to travel the world

Bm D G

[Bridge]
Bm                  D              G 
Take a left at the end of my street
        G
Just a few doors down
Bm               D             G
Up the hill and into the trees
           G
There's a hole in the ground
Bm                     D             G
Where we traveled the caverns so deep
              G 
Wandered the wonders so wide
Bm      D                    G
It was right beneath our feet
          G               D D A G
All this time, all this time

[Verse 3 - softly]
          D               A  G              D
Well, tonight I saw the children in their rooms
        A  G             D  
Little flowers all in bloom
         A               G                                 
Burning suns and silver moon
     D               A      G  
And somehow in that starry sky
      D            A    G  
The image of the Maker lies
       A                          G                                 
Right here beneath my roof tonight


[Chorus]
            A
So hold on tight, I'm a
D               G A
World traveler,
 D   G A
Yaah
          D 
Oh I'm a world traveler,
G                    A
Pack yours bags and dig down deep
D
Ride the storms and sail the seas
      G         A  
To the distant pole
       Bm     D
I'm a world traveler
 G            A
Into these uncharted lands
    D                  
To blaze a trail in the vast expanse
      G           A
Of the heart and soul
Bm                   D 
In the grace of the God of peace
       G
Let's wade into the battle
    Bm            D
So come on, come on with me
     G
And get up in that saddle
  Bm              D
There's a million mysteries
   G                A
I'm ready to unravel
                               D D A G , D A G
Come on, let's travel the world
D                 G      D D A G , D A G
So come on, come on with me
D        A  G         D D A G , D A G
I wanna travel the world
D                G       D D G D , D G D
So come on, come on with me
