Travellin' Man

Well, this is a song about a travellin' man, who knows just what he wants

(Yeah, he did)

He thinks he's got it all figured out and tries not take too much

He spent a lot of time on this and that, he knows just what he likes

And he ain't goin' back

Well, I got spiders in my bed and I got slugs up on the wall

There's a black bee flyin' 'round outside o' my backdoor

I'm weather-worn, my shirt is torn, got dirt comin' out my ears

From bein' gone all these years

Well, one half of my head keeps singin' songs, years of old

While the other sheds its skin on aggregates of minerals

I'm a cask of oak, I'm whiskey soaked, been runnin' down the line

Ah, pour me another one, honey, I'm doin' fine

I don't know where I belong, but I know just what I like

I'm kickin' up dirt while I'm on the run, double-whiskey, no ice

And I don't know where I belong, but I know just what I like

A pretty lady, sing-a-long songs, it'll take me through the night

Well, I got sand in my shoes and I got dirt between my toes

There's a calm before the storm, I hear, and so the story goes

I'm dancin' in and out, got a sweaty brow, feel it coursin' through my veins

Ah, look out, baby, I'm comin' through when it rains

And I don't know where I belong, but I know just what I like

I'm kickin' up dirt while I'm on the run, double-whisky, no ice

And I don't know where I belong, but I know just what I like

A pretty lady, sing-a-long songs, it'll take me through the night

And I've been gone for so very long, baby

Don't think twice, you know I'll be alright

I got an absence without leave, got an ace tucked up my sleeve

With sticks and stones will break the throne and make some history

And I don't know where I belong, but I know just what I like

I'm kickin' up dirt while I'm on the run, double-whiskey, no ice

And I don't know where I belong, but I know just what I like

A pretty lady, sing-a-long songs, it'll take me through the night
