Merle Haggard Lyrics
"Travelin'"

(Ronnie Reno - Tiny Moore)

I know we know
I won't be here for long
A travelin' man will do what he can
Till he hears that travelin' song.

Born in a little town
I left home around bout the age of nine
Been everywhere a time or two
Doin' what I wanna do leavin' little girls behind.

I know we know
I won't be here for long
A travelin' man will do what he can
Till he hears that travelin' song.

--- Instrumental ---

If you see me twice take my advice
And don't play me no tune
When I hear my song it won't be long
I'll be leavin' soon.

I know we know
I won't be here for long
A travelin' man will do what he can
Till he hears that travelin' song.

As I travel along I sing my songs
I'm happy as can be
I'm free as a bird you can take my word
Travelin's a life for me.

I know we know
I won't be here for long
A travelin' man will do what he can
Till he hears that travelin' song.

I know we know
I won't be here for long
A travelin' man will do what he can
Till he hears that travelin' song...
