| I’m just a traveling man, you see
|
| Wherever this road goes is where I will be
|
| And I’ll catch me a ride on a boat to Spain
|
| Tell a woman that I love her then forget her name
|
| And I wish I could stay for midday coffee
|
| But I just can’t get this dreamin' off me
|
| If I could find me a place to rest my mind
|
| But mama always said you’ll get there in good time
|
| There’s some headlights burning down the highway
|
| And I think that I may just hitch me a ride
|
| 'Cause I’m a traveling man by trade, sir
|
| We’re all runnin' from the things inside
|
| There’s a train headin' west to south Toledo
|
| And if the dogs don’t assail me to sleep I’ll go
|
| Dreamin' as I’m steamin' past miles of ground
|
| Through the souls and hymnals that built this town
|
| Won’t stay too long and leave too soon
|
| The best time for goin' is when the goin' scare you
|
| There’s some headlights burning down the highway
|
| And I think that I may just hitch me a ride
|
| 'Cause I’m a traveling man by trade, sir
|
| We’re all runnin' from the things inside
|
| There’s some headlights burnin' down the highway
|
| And I think that I may just hitch me a ride
|
| 'Cause I’m a traveling man by trade, sir
|
| We’re all running from the things inside |
