Travelin' Man

I've got the western stars to guide me

Dixie Sweet and low all night low

I can hear those fiddles high above me

A woman smiles as I sing my song

I've stood in line I've earned my keep

And I know she'll cry when I'm gone

A neon sign calls me to sleep

But I'm wide awake so I roll on

[Chorus]

Travelin' man, ride as far as I can stand

My momma cries for the life I choose

And I need a beer, but it's too damn far away from here

And I don't have time to sing the blues

I know I drink more than I should

But I can't slow down for my destiny

Lord knows I'd stop if I could

But the saints of old lift their glass to me

[Chorus: x2]
