about

This track has been listed on the 2022 Grammy ballot for Best American Roots Performance. Recorded in April 2021 at AlexKProduction, Providence, Rhode Island, USA.

One interesting note about this track is that the final mix uses the original tracking vocals, sung live with the band in the studio, using the Shure Super 55 microphone that Pete uses in concert. This is what gives this track that raw sound in the vocal climaxes of the song.

lyrics

I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys too
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you

Ever since I read your letter
Where you said you loved me true
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you

When I read your loving letter
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us
But it didn't mean a thing

I just had to reach you baby
Spite of all that I've been through
I kept traveling night and day
I kept running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you

Well if I had to do it over
That's exactly what I'd do
I'd be traveling night and day
And I'd still run all the way
Baby, trying to get to you

There was nothing that could hold me
Or could keep me away from you
When your loving letter told me
That you really loved me true

Lord above me knows I love you
It was He who brought me through
When my way was dark as night
He would shine his brightest light
When I was trying to get to you
