Travel Light

When I was an astronaut, I didn't take my boots When I was a coal-miner, I didn't know the news When I ran a record store, Ididn't have the blues I travel light and thats the life for me. He doesn't care where else he goes He's not gonna take any extra clothes Or extra shoes to hide his feet The ground is dirt, the dirt is sweet. When I go to London-town I'll stand under a rock Until I know all the time it takes to pack a clock The I'll flip it over, close the key, swallow the lock I travel light and that's the life for me. He doesn't take his spoon or fork He's seen to many eating in New York He'll use his hands to pick and eat The fruit he finds, he'll find it sweer. When I was a waitress, I gave away my tips When I was a call-girl, I gave away my hips When I ran the kissing-booth, I gave away my lips I travel light and that's the life for me. She lives a life like abandoned wind Elemental wife, fortune's her friend A smile on a river made of light She's just a pebble on waterfall tonight When I go to Boston, I'll stand around in jeans And save the cash to leave by selling black-marcket baked beans Denim's what I like to wear, it has durable seams I travel light and that's the life for me. She's just a genius without a thinking cap 'Never pays the rent, she's funny like that I don't know what she's on, she's here and gone Rides a welcome mat on a jungle cat. Furs and sofa chairs and shiny things are just a fuss We'll eat all the peanuts that we steal from the circus We'll count all the stars and go to sleep under the bus We'll travel light and that's the life for us We'll travel light and that's the life for us We'll travel light and that's the life for us We'll travel light and that's the life for us.
