Traveling Poor Boy

Old man moon, shining in my rearview Leaving that Tennessee town You're all I have to talk to Don't know where my dog ran off to But he's gone, and has been for a while now Where I'm bound, well, I haven't figured it out I'm sure I'll find my usual old wrong way The cost to leave ain't cheap, I don't need no eat or sleep Even if I did, I lost my job, so I don't got much pay, but it's okay 'Cause anymore would burn a hole in my pocket Lord, I can't afford to be a poor boy broke Besides this pair of jeans is already threaded, tearin' at the seams The last thing that I need is a pant leg full of smoke Gonna ride until my ride quits riding Then I'm gonna walk until my boots walk off Yessir, I'll be a sight when I get Where they're looking mean and lying But tonight, I'm feeling free and friendly Barely scraping change, waving goodbye Say, old man moon, I hear that you get blue too It must be lonesome way up in the sky The stars seem mighty proud, if I were you, I'd hate a cloud All they ever do is hang around and cry Guess it ain't a shame to be rolling like a slow train Or glowing like only you do, I'll tell you what I'll keep right on track, if you keep shining bright like that I bet before we know it, this journey will be through And the hard times too, man Anymore would burn a hole in my pocket Lord, I can't afford to be a poor boy broke Besides this pair of jeans is already threaded, tearin' at the seams The last thing that I need is a pant leg full of smoke Gonna ride until my ride quits riding Then I'm gonna walk until my boots walk off Yes sir, I'll be a sight when I get Where they're looking mean and lying But tonight, I'm feeling free and friendly Barely scraping change, waving goodbye Wavin' goodbye, wavin' goodbye
