Yeah, 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 years of '23
And on the day that I was born his blood was left to me

I'm the travelin' man
Travelin' man
Travelin' man
Travelin' man
Oh, 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
Now all you pretty women, Lord, I hope you understand
Don't be a fool, Lord, no, put your heart in a travelin' man

I'm the travelin' man
Travelin' man
Travelin' man
That's what I am
Travelin' man

Travelin' man that's what I am
I guess I'll always be
Travelin' man that's what I am
But it, at least I'm free, yeah
I'm a travel

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 the travelin' man
Travelin' man
Travelin' man
That's what I am
Travelin' man
Oh, that's what I am

Travelin' man
