Keeping out the rain
And catch my train and ride
Well, I've been livin' like a trucker
In fact, I'd do it all again
Somewhere on a map
That's the mood I'm in
All around the world, to the planet's end
Since I was last here
I've been singing for my supper
That cannot feel it's throat
But I never get to eat
Another plane to catch
Really feel like singin', you know
Well, I've been hopin' and I've been prayin
Some kind of travelin' man
For a month or more
I've been livin' like a hawker
Before the wagons roll
Well, I queue up at the diner
I'm a travelin' man
Well, I'm steaming like diesel
Some kind of travelin' man
Yes, I'd do it all again
But I cannot find a seat
That cannot feel it's throat
Well, I'm closing all the windows
Lose an hour, gain an hour
That's for some people, but me, I wanna ride
Well, I'm closing all the windows
I've seen some places, but more, I ain't seen yet, yeah
Why, I've always gotta see
Flying through the time zone
Some kind of ramblin' man
You'll never catch me working 9 to 5
Well, I've been livin' like a gypsy
Come on, baby, get on up here
But you won't hear me complaining
So I pack my bag, get on my way
Well, I'm sleeping if I have to
Feeling like a king
Well, I'm steaming like diesel
I'm a ramblin' man
But I'm not complaining
I'd do it all again, baby
Cannot stop a travelin' man
In fact, I'd do it all again
I'm a ramblin' man
Tell your mama not to worry
Travelin' man, travelin' man
I'm a ramblin' man
What's on the other side
Keeping out the rain
In days, both hot and cold
