I was born a travelin' man -
That's all I'll ever be.
Movin' around from town to town
Is what makes me so free.
My father was a trucker
Forty years of twenty-three
And on the day that I was born,
His truck was left to me.
Travelin' man...
Travelin' man...
Travelin' man...
That's what I am - Travelin' man...
Oh, that's what I am!
Travelin' man, that's what I am
No woman puts a hold on me.
See me once, or maybe twice - that's all you'll see of me.
Now all you pretty women,
Lord, I hope you'll understand;
Don't be a fool, Lord, no!
Put your heart in a travelin' man.
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 - at least I'm free! Yeah!
I'm a traveler...
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 has last.
I am just a mover-
Movin' fast as sound.
Always free - sometimes lonely -
Always movin' around.
Travelin' man...
Travelin' man...
That's what I am - Travelin' man...
Travelin' man...
Oh, that's what I am!
Travelin' man.
