             Travellin Man Blues   music & lyrics Mickey Flynn 5/3/2016

Now you can make a wish upon a star just as you watch it fallin,
For sometimes you need a little bit of luck to come and fall your way,
Cause you can never tell what lay’s up ahead on the road 
at any place you maybe likely be callin,
If you’re a travellin man your always gonna have a price to pay.

And yeah you’re gonna spend a lot of time away from home and livin out of a suitcase,
Now with your fingers crossed a hopin everythin is gonna go as you planned,
And everytime you hang around some dirty mean old town 
You gotta move on to get out the rat race,
But now you’re payin the price to live the life of a travellin man.

Well now you spend all your time in the fast lane, 
Tryin to chase a dream that you got on your mind,
You’re just a rollin stone on the road but that’s the life you choose,
But when it comes around to what you’ve had to leave behind, 
You’ve always had to be cruel to be kind,
And now you’re payin the price to live your life with them travellin man blues.

Yeah if’n you ever get that feelin that you’re about to run right outta road,
You’d only just turn back around and do it all again just for the ride,
And if your searchin for a reason just let me tell ya now there ain’t no secret code,
You just a keep your motor runnin and drive right on through the night.

Well now you made a wish upon a star just as you watched it falling,
But sometimes it ain’t a always good luck that comes and falls your way,
And you still never can tell what’s goin down up ahead,
But you gotta try to keep your wheels turnin,
You’re still a travellin man you’re always gonna have a price to pay.

And yeah you spend all your time in the fast lane, 
Tryin to chase that dream you still got on your mind,
You’re just a rollin stone on the road but that’s the life you choose,
But when it comes around to what you have to leave behind, 
Sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind,
And now you’re gonna be payin a price for them travellin man blues.
Your just a rollin stone on a windin road but that’s the way of life you choose,
Yeah now your gonna be payin a price for them travellin man blues.
Your just a rollin stone on a lonesome road you ain’t got nothing left to loose,
And you been a’ livin your whole life with them travellin man blues.
                                                           ******
