Well, I'm a-standin' on the highway of life's great race,
Stickin' out my thumb, with a smile on my face.
I'm hopin' for a ride to take me any old place
Where the devil behind me might give up the chase.
 
I ain't got the strength to tote no pack.
Just a dime in my pocket and the clothes on my back.
I took a wrong turn when I left the track.
Not a friend in the world, and that's a fac'.

CHORUS: 

I'm travellin', travellin',
Headin' down the road toward the great unknown.
I'm travellin', just travellin',
Lookin' for a place I can call my own.

Don't need nothin' fancy, just a room with a bed
A nice, quiet place where I can lay my head
Just a trailer by the river might do instead
When my travellin' days are done.
