My Destination Lyrics & Chords By The Infamous Stringdusters

written by Andy Hall
Verse 1
When I was a child and all the world was new
I met a little girl just a sweet as mornin' dew
And she gave me a promise
I hope will last forever more
I was just a country boy who had it in his mind
To leave that country town just to see what I could find
But I knew I'd come back
To find the girl I loved before
Chorus
And love, love, love was my destination
I traveled so far to be with you again
And the train, train, train will leave me at the station
Will you be there to take me by the hand
Verse 2
In my pocket is a letter you wrote me long ago
'Bout how you'd always love even if I had to go
But it's just a piece of paper
And you were just a child
And the picture that I have of you is all faded and brown
But it's all I've got to get me back to the old hometown
Where you'll be waiting for me
Like you promised that you would
Chorus
And love, love, love was my destination
I traveled so far to be with you again
And the train, train, train will leave me at the station
Will you be there to take me by the hand
(Solos)
Verse 3
Pulled into the depot, for ten years I've been gone
And would I know what you like after being gone so long
Then I thought I caught a glimpse
Of that long golden hair
But it was just an illusion
Because you were no where to be found
I was lost in the confusion
And the train pulled out just as I turned around
Chorus 2
And love, love, love was my destination
I traveled so far to be with you again
And the train, train, train has left me at the station
Left me alone to hang my head and cry
