Lucky Mud: Music

Travelin' Man

(Lucky Mud)

For the person who's always moving, the idea of being put in a hole, forever, just doesn't sit well.
In the ground there's a hole
For me to lie
Don't bury me there when I die
Just scatter my ashes
To the seven seas
So I can go anywhere I please
I'm a travelin' man
I'm a travelin' man

I was born with my feet
Strapped in my shoes
I was walkin' down the road
From the time I was two
There ain't nothin' sweeter
Than the sight of a road
Take me anywhere
I want to go
I'm a travelin' man
I'm a travelin' man

CHORUS: I'm a travelin' man
I ain't goin' nowhere
My life is ahead of me
Somewhere out there
I'm a'goin' down the road
I'm a'singin' a song
Blink your eyes honey
I'l be gone
I'm a travelin' man
I'm a travelin' man

I've left a lot of people
In this world behind
They learn pretty quick
I ain't the stayin' kind
I've got an itch in my feet
And a hole in my soul
The only way to fix it
Is to get up and go
I'm a travelin' man
I'm a travelin' man

CHORUS:

In the ground there's a hole
For me to lie
Don't bury me there
When I die
