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

Travelin' man

That's what I am

Travelin' man ohh

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 yeah

I'm travelin'

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

I'm travelin'

Travelin' man

Oh that's what I am

Travelin' man

Travelin' man

Oh that's what I am

Travelin' man
