Kentucky in the spring time, summer time in Tennessee
When it gets cold, Iâm gonna hit the road down to New Orleans
Maybe hub it down to Texas too, where itâs warm the whole year through
When the winterâs gone, Iâm moving on to somewhere new
Of travelling Iâve always enjoyed, I kept rambling to stay employed
And when I quit school, my mama said you fool, youâre just a boy
But now sheâs changed her tune, cause Iâve been everywhere except the moon
And Iâm sure proud that she donât doubt that Iâll be there soon
Chorus:
Living life one town at a time, with help from these friends of mine
Cause they know that Iâll travel these back roads âtil the day that I die
With them Iâll be just fine, on this road I donât mind dyinâ
Well I canât have it all, but Iâm having a ball one town at a time
Give me a van or a passenger train, Iâll cross the ocean in a big airplane
In any style, Iâm making miles just the same
Yes I gotta see whatâs around the bend, there ainât nothinâ but time to spend
Soon as Iâm gone, it wonât take long till Iâm back again
Chorus
Bridge:
To all the people back home today, working hard for honest pay
I canât say enough, cause it sure is tough living that way
But this travelling life of mine, Iâm leading one town at a time
So down the road here I go, I donât mind
Chorus
