I was born a trav'lin' man, that's all I'll ever be. Movin' around from town to town, that's what makes me so free. My father was a trucker for the years of twenty-three, on the day that I was born his truck was left to me. Chorus I'm a tra-v'l-in' man, tra-v'l-in' man, tra-v'l-in' man, tra-v'l-in' man, that's what I am. Trav'lin' man, that's what I am, mama puts a load on me. You 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 fallin' in love, just call in a trav'lin' man. (Chorus) (bridge) vocals Trav'lin' man, that's what I am; guess I'll always be. Trav'lin' man, that's what I am but at in the least I'm free. (short jam) SECOND BRIDGE lead guitar 'I'm a traveler" Tra-v'l-in' man, oh that's-a what I am. Trav'lin' 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, movin' fast as sound, always be some time for me always movin' around. (Chorus) Tra-v'l-in' man - Ronnie Van Zant & Leon Wilkeson
