Lyrics I Was Born A Travelin' Man - Johnny Rodriguez

I Was Born A Travelin' Man

I’ve lived where I wanna be
Lived my life my way you see
I’ve done it all on my own
Had some friends with good advice
Good Lord knows I don’t think twice
When it’s time to move along
I had an understanding woman
Who loved me just for what I am
And leaving hurt as much as telling her
That I was born a travelin' man
I left a job in San Antone
And moved on up to Nashville
Looking for a place to call home
Worked with bums night club bands
On a string of one night stands
And loved it all leaving’s in my bones
Now I find me looking down
Road behind me covered ground
Thanking God in heaven’s name again
For bringing me the sunshine
And the memories to remember
The thousand miles and places that I’ve been
I had an understanding woman
She loved me just for what I am
And leaving hurt as much as telling her
I was born a travelin' man
