Lyrics to ‘Have Guitar Will Travel’ by Scott Helmer
Have you ever been lost in space
Like you wanna give up on the human race
Since when does two and two not make four
Since when do daddies send their little girls to war
When the whole world unravels
You gotta know how to pick your battles
I cinch up my saddle
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Moms and dads now keep score
And both have to work for the room and the board
Kids are the ones that get left behind
Raised by the state
The next slaves to the grind
When the whole world unravels
You gotta know how to pick your battles
I cinch up my saddle
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Don't let your light go out
Don't let hope die in you
If you don't love where you're at
Pick up your feet and move
So if you're feelin' like you're lost in space
Don't throw in the towel on the human race
We all know two and two is four
And dads don't send their daughters to war
When the whole world unravels
You gotta know how to pick your battles
I cinch up my saddle
When the whole world unravels
Don't lose the war before the battle
I cinch up my saddle
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel
Have guitar will travel (have guitar will travel)
Have guitar will travel (have guitar will travel)
Have guitar will travel (have guitar will travel)
Have guitar will travel
