Travelin' light travelin' light
I'm just movin' on down the road I'm a travelin' light

I've tried my best to hold what you call a blue collar job
I been a banker's monkey and a cotton field flunky and my fingers throb
But I gave it all up when I found me a goin' nowhere
And I found a new thing just a travelin' light out there

Travelin' light travelin' light...
[ guitar + harmonica ]
Travelin' light travelin' light...

If you don't own a spare suit of clothes you don't have to have 'em cleaned
And if don't own a car you don't have to buy no gasoline
All I got is me and you can't get me up tight
Cause I've learned how to be just me by travelin' light

Travelin' light travelin' light...
Travelin' light travelin' light...
Travelin' light travelin' light...
Travelin' light travelin' light...
