The Dead South - Travellin' Man lyrics
[The Dead South - Travellin' Man lyrics]
Well this is a song about a travellin'
Man who knows just what he wants
He thinks he's got it all figured out
And tries not to take too much
He's spent a lot of time tryin' this and
That and he knows just what he likes
And he ain't goin' back
Well I've got spiders in my bed and
I've got slugs up on the wall
There's a black bee a flyin' round
Outside of my back door
I'm weather worn my shirt is
Torn I got dirt comin'
Out my ears From being gone all these years
Well one half of my head keeps
Singing songs of years of
Old While the other sheds it's
Skin on aggregates of minerals
I'm a cask of oak, I'm whiskey soaked
Been runnin' down the line
Aw pour me another one honey I'm doin' fine
I don't know where I belong but
I know just what I like
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run
Double whiskey no ice
I don't know where I belong but
I know just what I like
A pretty lady and sing along songs
It'll take me through the night
Well I got sand in my shoes and
I got dirt between my toes
There's a calm before the storm I
Hear or so the story goes
I'm dancing in it now, got a sweaty brow
I can feel it coursing through my veins
Aw look out baby I'm comin'
Through when it rains
Well I don't know where I belong but
I know just what I like
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run
Double whiskey no ice
And I don't know where I belong but
I know just what I like
A pretty lady and sing along songs
It'll take me through the night
And I've been gone for so very long
Baby don't think twice
You know I'll be alright
I've got an absence without leave
I've got an ace tucked up my sleeve
With sticks and stones we'll take the throne
And make some history
And I don't know where I belong but
I know just what I like
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run
Double whiskey no ice
And I don't know where I belong but
I know just what I like
A pretty lady and sing along songs
It'll take me through the night
Man who knows just what he wants
He thinks he's got it all figured out
And tries not to take too much
He's spent a lot of time tryin' this and
That and he knows just what he likes
And he ain't goin' back
Well I've got spiders in my bed and
I've got slugs up on the wall
There's a black bee a flyin' round
Outside of my back door
I'm weather worn my shirt is
Torn I got dirt comin'
Out my ears From being gone all these years
Well one half of my head keeps
Singing songs of years of
Old While the other sheds it's
Skin on aggregates of minerals
I'm a cask of oak, I'm whiskey soaked
Been runnin' down the line
Aw pour me another one honey I'm doin' fine
I don't know where I belong but
I know just what I like
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run
Double whiskey no ice
I don't know where I belong but
I know just what I like
A pretty lady and sing along songs
It'll take me through the night
Well I got sand in my shoes and
I got dirt between my toes
There's a calm before the storm I
Hear or so the story goes
I'm dancing in it now, got a sweaty brow
I can feel it coursing through my veins
Aw look out baby I'm comin'
Through when it rains
Well I don't know where I belong but
I know just what I like
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run
Double whiskey no ice
And I don't know where I belong but
I know just what I like
A pretty lady and sing along songs
It'll take me through the night
And I've been gone for so very long

Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run
Double whiskey no ice
And I don't know where I belong but
I know just what I like
A pretty lady and sing along songs
It'll take me through the night
