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...
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
