Blues Traveler is a Grammy Award winning American rock band that was formed in 1987 in Princeton, New Jersey. The band's signature sound blends blues, rock, and improvisational jam band elements, highlighted by the virtuosic harmonica playing of frontman John Popper.

The original lineup of Blues Traveler consisted of John Popper (vocals, harmonica), Chan Kinchla (guitar), Brendan Hill (drums), and Bobby Sheehan (bass). Bobby, however, tragically passed away in 1999. The band has since continued with Tad Kinchla on bass, along with the addition of Ben Wilson on keyboards.

Blues Traveler gained widespread recognition in the 1990s with their fourth studio album, "Four", featuring hit singles like "Run-Around" and "Hook". Their success propelled them into the mainstream, solidifying their status as one of the era's most influential rock bands. After 35+ years they continue touring and creating fresh, original music today.

Crush me softly
Or cradle me hard
And the more I wanted
Was the scariest part
A measure of control
Well not this time
And I wanted to learn so
I claim the lesson as mine

The politics of lasting just a little bit longer
Is the art of living every day
That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
Until it finally kills you all the way

You take every action
And apply the math
You could reap the rapture
Or risk the wrath
And if you rate the reasons
Then the best ones lose
And all that means is
You got no excuse

The politics of lasting just a little bit longer
Is the art of living every day
That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
Until it finally kills you all the way

Harmonica powers reactivate!

Gonna pull up stakes
Gonna try again
Do whatever it takes
To draw you in
It's what I am
And it's all I know
Like the carnie man
You gotta work the show

The politics of lasting just a little bit longer
Is the art of living every day
That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
Until it finally kills you all the way

I'm taken aback

But still I let it ride

No sudden movements

I ease my hand real slow

Then my hands are like lightning

And the bullets start to fly

I was almost in the clear too

With just inches left to go


And if it's the fool who likes to rush in

And if it's the angel who never does try

And if it's me who will lose or win

Then I'll make my best guess and I won't care why

C'mon and get me you twist of fate

I'm standing right here Mr. Destiny

If you want to talk well then I'll relate

If you don't, so what, 'cause you don't scare me


Time comes when I'm older

And a new kid hits the street

They'll say he's fast and he looks for me

And he says I'm going down

And though I try to avoid this man

Eventually we'll meet

He'll draw faster than I can see

And knock me to the ground


And if it's the fool who likes to rush in

And if it's the angel who never does try

And if it's me who will lose or win

Then I'll make my best guess and I won't care why

C'mon and get me you twist of fate

I'm standing right here Mr. Destiny

If you want to talk well then I'll relate

If you don't, so what, 'cause you don't scare me


So I'm lying in the street there

And the lights are getting dim

Preacher man comes to tell me

Repent, it's time to pray

You only have to lose once

But you never always win

And I smile at him with my last words

And this is what I say


Well if it's the fool who likes to rush in

And if it's the angel who never does try

And if it's me who will lose or win

Then I'll make my best guess and I won't care why

C'mon and get me you twist of fate

I'm standing right here Mr. Destiny

If you want to talk well then I'll relate

If you don't, so what, 'cause you don't scare me

C'mon and get me you twist of fate

I'm standing right here Mr. Destiny

If you want to talk well then I'll relate

If you don't, so what, 'cause you don't scare me

A question never dies Please enlighten me Sand upon your skin It softens me The sun is shining in your eyes It frightens me Always are clear Will you cover me Just cover me Just cover me

And I just can't find That puzzle piece My picture's got a hole Right next to me

Oh the taste it leaves Can always change Just keep your tongue in cheek With all your friends You spend your days Don't you forget about me Don't forget about me

And I just can't find That puzzle piece My picture's got a hole Right next to me See Blues Traveler Live Get tickets as low as $34 You might also like Saving Grace Blues Traveler Nobody Fall in Love With Me Blues Traveler Hook Blues Traveler There's a hole in my heart that is tattered and torn now And if a question won't die it leaves an answer unborn now And a question remains that I'm dying to see Will you cover me

And I just can't find That puzzle piece My picture's got a hole Right next to me And I just can't find That puzzle piece My picture's got a hole Right next to me
