I was born a trav'lin' man,      that's all I'll ever be. 

Movin' around from town to town, that's what makes me so free. 

My father was a trucker for the  years of twenty-three, 

on the day that I was born       his truck was left to me.

Trav'lin' man, that's what I am , mama puts a load on me. 

You see me once or maybe twice,  that's all you'll see of me. 

All you pretty women, Lord,      I hope you understand, 

don't be fallin' in love,        just call in a trav'lin' man.

Trav'lin' man, that's what I am , Lord, I move so fast. 

I have had so many women,        none of them have last.

always be some time for me       always movin' around.
