Biography:
Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

Tift Merritt - Traveling Alone

This morning, if it all was gone
Funny thing, it wouldn't phase me none
F C
Might feel like I just got home
You know, I always had a taste for traveling alone
F C
Only get this one time 'round
Better speak up straight, better speak up proud
F C
Good lord, if he's not at home
F
Well, I always had a taste for traveling alone
C F C
Oh, if I had a son
I would make him laugh, I would teach him something
F C
I'd say, Son, you gotta hold your own
And it's good to have a taste for traveling alone
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F C
F C
Oh, if I had a love
I would say, Man, got to keep up
F C
Got to lay down, baby, feed my soul
'Cause you know I got a taste for traveling alone
F C
Oh, if I had a song
I would sing it now, wouldn't take too long
F C
I'd sing, "Goodness is a real bare bone"
And it's what you do when you're traveling alone
F C
Down south, baby, in the heat
I was raised up right, I was raised so sweet
F C
Sweetness ain't gonna get you home
Oh, you're bound to get a taste of traveling alone
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F C F C F C
F C
I know that the world is mean
I know it don't care, I been around, I seen
F C
It's like a pretty girl who don't even know
I guess everybody here is traveling alone
F C
Cigarettes and a pick up truck
I'm gonna leave this town now, I got to press my luck
F C
Ocean gonna break so slow
You know, I always had a taste for traveling alone
