Got the blues in Batton Rouge walked a mile or two then caught her eye
|
I got out in Memphis she smiled at me and slowly said goodbye
|
She asked me if I'd like to tag along a little farther down the line
|
But travelin' round and bein' free that's only way life's good to me
|
|
Here I am in Memphis without a dime or a place to sleep
|
Sure is hot and sweaty the tar is even bubbling on the street
|
None of this bothered me that's the only cup o'tea that I can drink
|
Cause travelin' round and bein' free that's only way life's good to me
|
|
I may move on in the morning and never know just how long I'll stay
|
Sometimes I'll stay a month or two sometimes I don't even stay a day
|
No one tried to tie me down and it's quite a friendly town I'll stick around
|
Cause travelin' round and bein' free that's only way life's good to me
|
|
I've tried a lot of steady jobs but never seen one make me happy yet
|
I've lived my life so many ways tried everything and now I know what's best
|
I wouldn't trade with anyone a billion dollars wouldn't move me none
|
Cause travelin' round and bein' free that's only way life's good to me
|
Cause travelin' round and bein' free that's only way life's good to me
|
Cause travelin' round and bein' free that's only way life's good to me
