The Vegabonds - Traveling Man Lyrics




Coming down from New York City through those Carolina trees
Hey Georgia did you miss me, I'm faster than the breeze
I been running down these back roads, like a traveling man will do
I keep on punching on this time clock
I work on a dream and I pay my dues

There's money left in Memphis if a man can sing the blues
I caught some hell in Birmingham when a woman made me choose
Between the leavin' and the stayin', I did what a traveling man will do
I keep on punching on this time clock
I work on a dream and I pay my dues

I got to keep on rollin' up and down these interstates
I got to keep on goin' till I hear my name at Heaven's gates
It's all bright lights and gasoline, truck stops and coffee beans
I bleed for what I do and that's the truth
I'll run my race until my work is through
Like a traveling man will do

I swam in the Mississippi, had a big time in Baton Rouge
Texas got me tipsy, California got me loose
I found love in South Dakota so I brought her home with me
I keep on punching on this time clock and working on this dream

And I keep on rollin' up and down these interstates
I got to keep on goin' till I hear my name at Heaven's gates
It's all bright lights and gasoline, truck stops and coffee beans
I believe in what I do and that's the truth
I'll run my race until my work is through
Like a traveling man will do
I'll run my race until my work is through
Like a traveling man will do
