hello i'm sitting here, thinking and writing
writing and talking, without you
situated in the corner of the corner, so far from nothin'
suspecting, not accepting that it's true
it really hits me when i'm
walking into the market
hear things i used to say
is it wrong to be here anyway
fade away
what was i thinking when i thought i could make you stay, yeah, yeah
what was i thinking when i thought i was right
not nothin
not nothin
i'm on to something here
it's all becoming clear
clearly confusing
less than amusing
castrated like a corpse to a coroner
so close to nothing
forgetful not regretful
of what i am
it really hits me when i'm
hanging with other monkeys
thinking of shit to say
is it wrong to be here anyway
fade away
what was i thinking when i thought i could make you stay, yeah, yeah
what was i thinking when i thought i was right
not nothing
not nothing
fade away
what was i thinking when i thought i could make you stay, yeah, yeah
what was i thinking when i thought i was right
not nothing
not nothing
it really hits me(Leon Wilkeson -- Ronnie VanZant)
I was born a travelin' man, that's all I'll 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
I'm a travelin' man
Travelin' Man -- that's what I am
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
That's what I am
Travelin' man -- that's what I am
No woman puts a hold on me
You'll see me once or maybe twice
That's all you'll see of me
All you pretty women Lord, I hope you understand
Don't be a fool Lord no, and put your heart in a travellin' man
I'm a travelin' man
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man -- that's what I am
Travelin' Man
(Bridge)
Travelin' Man -- that's what I am
Guess I'll always be
Travelin' Man -- that's what I am
But at least I'm free
Travelin' man
Oh - that's what I am
Travelin' man -- that's 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' Man
Travelin' Man -- that's what I am
Travelin' Man
Oh - that's what I am
