I've got the western stars to guide me Dixie Sweet and low all night low I can hear those fiddles high above me A woman smiles as I sing my song
I've stood in line I've earned my keep And I know she'll cry when I'm gone A neon sign calls me to sleep But I'm wide awake so I roll on
Travelin' man, ride as far as I can stand My momma cries for the life I choose And I need a beer, But it's too damn far away from here And I don't have time to sing the blues
I know I drink more than I should But I can't slow down for my destiny Lord knows I'd stop if I could But the saints of old lift their glass to me
Travelin' man, ride as far as I can stand My momma cries for the life I choose And I need a beer, But it's too damn far away from here And I don't have time to sing the blues (Repeat)
