Traveling

Walking, walking on the road, babe,
I’m walking, walking on the road, babe,
Walking, walking on the road, babe,
I’m walking all day long.

Running, running on the railroad,
I’m running, running on the railroad,
Running, running on the railroad,
I’m running the whole night through.

Travel, travel on the train, babe,
I travel, travel on the train, babe,
Travel, travel on the train, babe,
I travel my whole life through.

I travel on the train for the sake of traveling and not for the sake of arriving. It doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy the advantages of arriving to somewhere. It means only that the traveling itself can make me happy as well. Arriving somewhere is important, but it can’t be the only goal, since reaching the goal means to miss all the others.

I really appreciate your perspective, Zoltan. I love it when I'm able to travel like this.
