My Daddy was never very good at stickin' around That's about all my Daddy left me when he left town It's in my blood, it's in my shoes, I just can't settle down I ain't complaining, I'm just the same, it's what I found I'm a travelling man I'm a travelling man I'm a foot loose man Good God Almighty My Momma was a dancin' lady, that's a answer why I pick this guitar It really doesn't matter, it's just the way it is, the way things are So I keep on the move, just searching for them blues, no matter how far 'Cause if you're gonna wish, you might as well wish on a big ass star I'm a travelling man I'm a travelling man I'm a foot loose man Good God Almighty Shout it out from the rooftops, can't help myself Come on now It's what I'm takin' about, can't help myself Spin it around, I just can't help myself I am the king of hearts but I'm no heartbreaker, just doing my thing I am the luckiest man in the whole wide world, I get to play and sing I hope pretty soon I can do it for you when I come to your town We can get down and boogie, shake off the dust, we can kick it around I'm a travelling man I'm a travelling man Foot loose man Good God almighty Shout it from the rooftops, can't help myself
