I was born a travelin´ man, that´s all I´ll ever be
Moving around from town to town is what makes me so free
My father was a trucker for the years of ´23
On the day that I was born his blood was left to me
I´m a travelin´ man
Travelin´ Man -- that´s what I am
Travelin´ Man
Travelin´ Man
That´s what I am

Travelin´ man -- that´s what I am
No woman puts a hold on me
You´ll see me once or maybe twice
That´s all you´ll see of me
All you pretty women Lord, I hope you understand
Don´t be a fool Lord no, and put your heart in a travellin´ man
I´m a travelin´ man
Travelin´ Man
Travelin´ Man -- that´s what I am
Travelin´ Man

Travelin´ Man -- that´s what I am
Guess I´ll always be
Travelin´ Man -- that´s what I am
But at least I´m free

Travelin´ man
Oh - that´s what I am

Travelin´ man -- that´s what I am, Lord I move so fast
I have had so many women, none of them have last
I am just a mover, moving fast as sound
Always free, sometimes lonely. Always movin´ around
Travelin´ Man
Travelin´ Man -- that´s what I am
Travelin´ Man
Oh - that´s what I am
