Bitterroot
tonight i'll be sleeping on the mountain top
i got a billion stars for my witness
in the morning i'll go down and the sun comes up
and i'll take a drink from the bitter root river
have you been lonely
(yes i've been lonely)
i've been lonely too
have you been lonely
(yes i've been lonely)
i've been lonely too
tonight i'll be sleeping on the mountain top
i got a billion stars for my witness
in the morning i'll go down and the sun comes up
i'll take a drink from the bitter root river
have you been travelin
(yes i've been travelin)
i've been travelin too
(that girl can play)
have you been travelin
(yes i've been travelin)
i've been travelin too
(lordy help me to play)
tonight i'll be sleeping on the mountain top
i got a billion stars for my witness
in the morning i'll go down and the sun comes up
i'll take a drink from the bitter root river
i'll take a drink from the bitter root river
i'll take a drink from the bitter root river

True To Your Heart
(MillerWells)
Something deep inside of me
Keeps me moving aimlessly
Always been Always be
A lonely travelin' man
Something that I can't explain
Holding me from wind and rain
Wild and free and hard to tame
A lonely travelin' man
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
Got no goal got no plan
Just an old worn out heart in my hand
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
I'll get there anyway I can
I'm just an uninspiring tired out travelin' man
Please don't ask me where I've been
I've been alone through thick and thin
On the outside looking in
A lonely travelin' man
Something that I haven't found
Keeps me seeking all around
Moving on from town to town
A lonely travelin' man
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
Got no goal got no plan
Just an old worn out heart in my hand
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
I'll get there anyway I can
I'm just an uninspiring tired out travelin' man
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
Got no goal got no plan
Just an old worn out heart in my hand
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
I'll get there anyway I can
I'm just an uninspiring tired out...

Travelin Man
(leon wilkeson -- ronnie vanzant)
I was born a travelin man, thats all Ill ever be
Moving around from town to town is what makes me so free
My father was a trucker for the years of 23
On the day that I was born his blood was left to me
Im a travelin man
Travelin man -- thats what I am
Travelin man
Travelin man
Thats what I am
Travelin man -- thats what I am
No woman puts a hold on me
Youll see me once or maybe twice
Thats all youll see of me
All you pretty women lord, I hope you understand
Dont be a fool lord no, and put your heart in a travellin man
Im a travelin man
Travelin man
Travelin man -- thats what I am
Travelin man

Travelin man -- thats what I am
But at least Im free
Travelin man
Oh - thats what I am
Travelin man -- thats what I am, lord I move so fast
I have had so many women, none of them have last
I am just a mover, moving fast as sound
Always free, sometimes lonely. always movin around

Travelin Light
By j. j. cale
Travelin light is the only way to fly.
Travelin light, just you and i.
A one way ticket to ecstasy,
Away on down, just follow me.
Travelin light is the only way to fly.
Travelin light, now we can catch the wind.
Travelin light, just let your mind pretend.
We can go to paradise,
Maybe once, maybe twice.
Travelin light is the only way to fly.
Travelin light is the only way to fly.
Travelin light, just you and i.
We can go to paradise,
Maybe once, maybe twice.
Travelin light is the only way to fly.

Travelin' Man
A-don't you know that I'm leaving
I gotta catch the next train out.
I can't believe it.
Cause I'm a-already on my own.
A-Memphis town is the place I'm found.
There ain't no use in a-sticking around.
I got my pack on my back my friends,
And I'm heading on out again.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend.
I've got to travel across this land.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend.
A-Lord I'm on the move.
I told you girl I ain't staying tonight.
I got to leave while the getting is right.
I got the places to see, people to meet,
And I'm a-headin' on down the street.
A-when I get to old New York town,
A-pretty ladies there to show me around.
I'll take my money, all I can spend,
And I'm headin' on out again.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend.
I've got to travel across this land.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend,
Lord keep a-travelin' on.
Break
Well tomorrow is coming,
And I'll be on the road again.
A-pushin' and huffin'
While trying to get ahead.
I think I'm getting ready and hot.
I know it's time for a-me to stop.
I need to back another whiskey shot,
Lord, keep a-travelin' on.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend.
I've got to travel across this land.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend.
A-Lord can't you see I got to keep on,
Travelin' on.
Lord keep travelin' on.

Travelin' Clean
By: jimmy buffett
1971
You go to fargo
We'll meet in chicago
Travelin' light and travelin' clean
In a nine wheel blue and white travelin' machine
And i'm gone i'm movin' on yes i'm gone
Chorus:
No time to look back
We've crossed the last track
Travelin' free and travelin' wild
With my barefoot blue-eyed travelin' child
And i'm gone i'm movin' on yes i'm gone
Run away queen
Travelin' clean
You tell your mother
That you love another
Runnin' with a free-born man
That asks more of you than your hand
And you're gone you're movin' on yes you're gone
Run away queen
Travelin' clean
You go to fargo
We'll meet in chicago
Travelin' light and travelin' clean
In my nine wheel blue and white travelin' machine
And i'm gone
Come away, runaway queen
On her way and travelin' clean
Come away, runaway queen
On her way and travelin' clean

Travelin Man
Tom johnston
The sun brings up another day
Near the little fishin town
The nets are hung out in the wind
The sails are down
A seagull flies above my head
Spinning slowly towards the sea
He seems so free, and just like me
He rides the wind
Im a travelin man
Nothin left behind me but the road
Im a travelin man
Wont you share the load
Lonesome shepherd in the field ahead
Moonlight flows across the grass
The rocky hills catch the light above
Their shadows cast
Lonely by the day
Drifting late at night
The wind is creepin through my ragged coat
What a life
Im a travelin man
Nothin left behind me but the road
Im a travelin man
Wont you share the load

Hangin' Up My Travelin' Shoes
I've been goin' around in a whirlwind not knowing which way to go.
I've been lost in a jungle of heartaches looking for what I don't know
I've spread my wings and I've done some things that I never meant to do.
Its took me some time but I've made up my mind, I'm hanging up my travelin shoes.
Chorus:
Hangin' up my travelin shoes.
My runnin' around is all through.
I'm foldin' my wings up for you.
I'm hangin' up my travelin' shoes.
I've been ridin' a sea of uncertainty, runnin' away fom is all.
I've listened to nothing that life had to tell me, watched all my dreams rise
and fall.
I've made my mistakes, but it's not too late to pull myself out of the blues.
Its took me some time but I've made up my mind, I'm hanging up my travelin shoes.

So Lonely
Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just dont care
You look as if youre going somewhere
But I just cant convince myself
I couldnt live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely
Know no ones knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and no where to go
Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat theyre always free
No surprise no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
I feel so lonely...

Drink Drink Sire
Drink drink sire
None other times
Insistent more
No other shadow
But thyself
Moon and stars
Drink drink sire
Thy creed to followers
Lonely hearts
Under the moon
And in the flowers
Drink drink sire
What times other
What seasons other
Spring and stars
And the moon
And song of love
Drink drink sire
To the last drop
Un satiated
More and more
From moon now
To stars now
To milky way
Drink drink sire
To the passion of drink
To meet again in the journey

Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight
Do me wrong, do me right
Tell me lies, but hold me tight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight
Say goodbye, woman say hello, say hello
Sure enough good to see you, oh but it's time to go
Don't say yes, but please don't say no
I don't want to be lonely tonight
Go away then damn you,
Go and do as you please, go and do as you please girl,
You ain't gonna see me getting down on my knees
Cause I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided
You've been turning my world upside down
Do me wrong, do me right, do me right baby
Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight
I don't won't to be lonely tonight no, no I don't
want to be lonely tonight
I don't want to be lonely tonight

Thinking About Your World That Disappears Before Me
in your vast world
i see clouds shaped like a very long river
in the sky
i see houses far for each other well lighted
upon the shoulders of a mountain
the moon has just disappeared and so are the stars
and then the lights of the houses are turned off one by one
until what remains is the darkness of the night which has
swallowed greedily the river in the sky
i drink the rain that takes away the dust from my lips
it is a long lonely night and i am not asleep.

Tryin To Get To You
(mcoy/singleton)
Well, Ive been travelin over mountains,
Now even through the valleys too,
Well Ive been travelin night and day
Runnin all the way
Baby tryin to get to you
Well since I read your lovin letter
Where you said you love me true
Well I been travelin night and day
Runnin all the way
Baby tryin to get to you
Well now theres nothin that could hold me
Or to keep me way from you ooooh
Since your lovin letter told me
Ah that you really love me true oooooh
I just had to reach you baby
Back of all that Ive been through
Ill keep travelin night and day
Runnin all the way baby
Tryin to get to you
Well if I had to do it over,
Well thats exactly what Id do,
Id keep travelin night and day
Runnin all the way baby
Tryin to get to you
Well since I read your lovin letter
Well my heart began to sing
There are many miles between us
Ah but they didnt mean a thing
Lords above he knows I love you
Well it was he who brought me through,
When my way was black as night
Hed still shine bright as light
When I was tryin to get to you

Travelin Man
Words and music by bob seger
Up with the sun, gone with the wind,
She always said I was lazy.
Leavin my home, leavin my friends,
Runnin when things get too crazy.
Out on thr road, out neath the stars,
Feelin the breeze, passin the cars.
Women have come, women have gone,
Everyone tryin to cage me.
Some were so sweet, I barely got free,
Others, they only enraged me.
Sometimes at night, I see their faces,
I feel the traces they left on my soul.
Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul.
Travelin man, love when I can,
Turn loose my hand cause Im goin.
Travelin man, catch if you can,
But sooner or lare Im goin.
Travelin man ... travelin man, yes I am.
Sometimes at night, I see their faces,
I feel the traces they left on my soul.
These are the memories that made me a wealthy soul.
These are the memories that made me a wealthy soul.

I Won't Be Lonely Tonight
Standing alone in the night
People talk around me
Under the neon street light
Tryin' hard to hold on
I need somebody's love to
Surround me
Tossing a coin in the air
Making my decision
What has gone wrong with my life
I've drunk all my religion
I need somebody's love
To remind me
I won't be lonely tonight
All I want's another baby
I won't be lonely tonight
All I need's another baby
Heads I leave town in the night
Tails I drink a bottle
If it should land on its side
I'll return to love you
I need somebody's life to
Surround me
I won't be lonely tonight
All I want's another baby
I won't be lonely tonight
All I need's another baby
And this is the last time
I wanna be
I'm gonna be
I won't be lonely tonight
All I want's another baby
I won't be lonely tonight
All I need's another baby
