Traveling Man Lyrics by The Vegabonds

V

2019

[Verse 1]
Comin' down from New York City
Through  those Carolina trees
Hey,  Georgia did ya miss me?
I'm faster than the breeze
I've been runnin' down these backroads
Like  a travelin' man will do
I  keep on punchin' on this time clock
I work on a dream and I pay my dues
[Verse 2]
And  there's money left in Memphis
If a man can sing the blues
I caught some hell in Birmingham
When a woman made me choose
Between  leavin' and stayin'
I did what a travelin' man will do
I keep on punchin' on this time clock
I work on a dream and I pay my dues
[Chorus]
And I got to keep on rollin'
Up and down these interstates
I got to keep on goin'
'Til I hear my name at Heaven's gates
It's all bright lights and gasoline
Truck stops and coffee beans
I bleed for what I do and that's the truth
I'll run my race until my work is through
Like a travelin' man will do
[Verse 3]
I swam in the Mississippi
Had a big time in Baton Rouge
And Texas got me tipsy
California got me loose
I found love in South Dakota
So I brought her home with me
I keep on punchin' on this time clock
And workin' on this dream
[Chorus]
And I got to keep on rollin'
Up and down these interstates
I got to keep on goin'
'Til I hear my name at Heaven's gates
It's all bright lights and gasoline
Truck stops and coffee beans
I bleed for what I do and that's the truth
I'll run my race until my work is through
Like a travelin' man will do
[Outro]
I'll run my race until my work is through
Like a travelin' man will do
