Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Travelin'

I know we know I won't be here for long

A travelin' man will do what he can

'Till he hears that travelin' song

Born in a little town

I left home around bout the age of nine

Been everywhere a time or two doin' what I wanna do

Leavin' little girls behind

I know we know I won't be here for long

A travelin' man will do what he can

'Till he hears that travelin' song

If you see me twice take my advice

And don't play me no tune

When I hear my song it won't be long

I'll be leavin' soon

I know we know I won't be here for long

A travelin' man will do what he can

'Till he hears that travelin' song

As I travel along I sing my songs

I'm happy as can be

I'm free as a bird you can take my word

Traveling's a life for me

I know we know I won't be here for long

A travelin' man will do what he can

'Till he hears that travelin' song

I know we know I won't be here for long

A travelin' man will do what he can

'Till he hears that travelin' song
