Traveling Man

I'm just a traveling man, you see

Wherever this road goes is where I will be

And I'll catch me a ride on a boat to Spain

Tell a woman that I love her, then forget her name

And I wish I could stay for mid-day coffee

And I just can't get this dreamin' off me

If I could find me a place to rest my mind

But mama always said you'll get there in good time

There's some headlights burning down the highway

And I think that I may just hitch me a ride

'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade, sir

We're all runnin' from the things inside

There's a train headin' west to south Toledo

And if the dogs don't sell me, to sleep I'll go

Dreamin' as I'm steamin' past miles of ground

Through the souls and hymnals that built this town

I won't stay too long, leave too soon

The best time for goin' is when the goin' scare you

There's some headlights burning down the highway

And I think that I may just hitch me a ride

'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade, sir

We're all runnin' from the things inside

There's some headlights burnin' down the highway

And I think that I may just hitch me a ride

'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade, sir

We're all running from the things inside
