I’M A TRAVELING MAN


CHORUS  I'm a traveling man
I go everywhere.
  I'd like to stay home
  'Cause my wife and kids are there.
   But I'm a traveling man,
tied to the road
   I need the pay,
but it's a heavy load.
   Yeah, I'm a travelin' man
   And I'm doing the best that I can.


VERSE Sometimes I feel life’s passing me by.
There’s so much to stay for, but I got to fly.
I keep missing big events as my children grow,
I’m never there for them, always on the go.

CHORUS

VERSE I wish I could stay home for a while,
Play with the kids, see my wife smile,
But work calls and I’m out of town,
It’s a catch-22, and I’m destiny’s clown.

BRIDGE So I gotta stop traveling,
Find a way to stay home,
I’ll put down roots,
So I don’t have to roam.
Then, I won’t have to say…
CHORUS
