(Leon Wilkeson -- Ronnie VanZant)



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 

On the day that I was born his blood was left to me 

I'm a travelin' man 

Travelin' Man -- that's what I am 

Travelin' Man 

Travelin' Man 

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 

All you pretty women Lord, I hope you understand 

Don't be a fool Lord no, and put your heart in a travellin' man 

I'm a travelin' man 

Travelin' Man 

Travelin' Man -- that's what I am 

Travelin' Man



(Bridge) 

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



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 

Oh - that's what I am
