                          Am       G
I've been traveling over mountains
Am      G                 Am G Am
Even through the valley, too
                               D  Em
I've been traveling night and day
                           D
I've been running all the way
        Em              Am
Baby, trying to get to you

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

Chorus:
                         D
When I read your loving letter
                         A
Lord, my heart began to sing
                          B
There were many miles between us
                         E
But they didn't mean a thing

I just had to reach you, baby
In spite of all that I've been through
I been 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 would travel night and day
And still run all the way
Baby, trying to get to you

Chorus:
Well, there's nothing that could hold me
Or that 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
