I was born a travelin' man, that's all I'll ever be   Moving around from town to town is what makes me so free   My father was a trucker for the years of 23   And on the day that I was born his truck was left to me      I'm a travelin' man   Travelin' man   Travelin' man, that's what I am   Travelin' man, oh that's what I am      Travelin' man that's what I am, no woman puts a hold on me   You'll see me once or maybe twice that's all you'll see of me   No, all you pretty women Lord, I hope you understand   Don't be a fool Lord no and put your heart in a travelin' man      I'm a travelin' man   Travelin' man   Travelin' man, that's what I am   Travelin' man      Travelin' man that's what I am   Guess I'll always be   Travelin' man that's what I am   But at least I'm free, yeah      I'm a traveler   Travelin' man, oh that's what I am      Travelin' man that's what I am, Lord I move so fast   I have had so many women, none of them have last   I am just a mover, moving fast as sound   Always free, sometimes lonely always movin' around      Travelin' man   Travelin' man, that's what I am   Travelin' man   Travelin' man, oh that's what I am      Travelin' man
