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
And on the day that I was born his blood was left to me
I'm a 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, 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
I guess I'll always be
Travelin' man, that's what I am
But at least I'm free
I'm a 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, movin' fast as sound
Always free sometimes lonely, always movin' around
I'm a travelin' man
Travelin' man, travelin' man
That's what I am, travelin' man
Oh, that's what I am
Travelin' man
