Travelin' light, travelin' light
I'm just a-movin' on down the road and travelin' light

Well I've tried my best to hold what you call a blue collar job
I've been a banker's monkey and a cotton field flunky, had my fingers throb
But I gave it all up when I found me a-goin' nowhere
And I found a new thing just travelin' light out there

Travelin' light, travelin' light
I'm just a-movin' on down the road and travelin' light

If you don't have a spare suit of clothes, you don't have to have 'em cleaned
And if you don't own a car, you don't have to buy no gasoline
All I got is me and you can't get me uptight
'Cause I've learned how to be just me by travelin' light

Travelin' light, travelin' light
I'm just a-movin' on down the road and travelin' light

Travelin' light, travelin' light
I'm just a-movin' on down the road and travelin' light

Travelin' light, travelin' light
I'm just a-movin' on down the road and travelin' light
