lyrics

Coming down from New York City through those Carolina trees
       Hey Georgia did you miss me, I'm faster than the breeze
       I been running down these back roads, like a traveling man will do
       I keep on punching on this time clock 
       I work on a dream and I pay my dues

There's money left in Memphis if a man can sing the blues
       I caught some hell in Birmingham when a woman made me choose
       Between the leavin' and the stayin', I did what a traveling man will do
       I keep on punching on this time clock 
       I work on a dream and I pay my dues

I got to keep on rollin' up and down these interstates
              I got to keep on goin' till I hear my name at Heaven's gates
              It's all bright lights and gasoline, truck stops and coffee beans
              I bleed for what I do and that's the truth
              I'll run my race until my work is through 
              Like a traveling man will do 

I swam in the Mississippi, had a big time in Baton Rouge
            Texas got me tipsy, California got me loose
            I found love in South Dakota so I brought her home with me
            I keep on punching on this time clock and working on this dream

And I keep on rollin' up and down these interstates
              I got to keep on goin' till I hear my name at Heaven's gates
              It's all bright lights and gasoline, truck stops and coffee beans
              I believe in what I do and thats the truth
              I'll run my race until my work is through
              Like a traveling man will do
              I'll run my race until my work is through
              Like a traveling man will do
