I said goodbye to a whole lot of things that's been standing in my way.
I laid it all down, turned around, went searching for a brighter day.
I cut all the ties that pull and bind, I'm singing a brand new song.
It's been many years, and a whole lot of tears,
But now I'm traveling on.
Chorus:
I'm traveling on, leaving that sinful mess behind.
Traveling on, enjoying my rest and peace of mind.
They say good things come to those who wait,
Now it's time I'm moving on.
The devil loses, I'm through with the blues cause I'm outta here.
I'm traveling on.
I found me a reason to wake in the morning and face the world all day.
I have a friend that holds my hand with every step I take.
Despite the bad weather we're traveling together,
The Son just keeps shining on.
I've made up my mind, with the past behind,
Thank God I'm traveling on.
