Travelling Man (Remastered Version) Lyrics

Didn't I say that I was leaving

Didn't I say that I'd be gone

It's not because you don't love me

It's not that you've done something wrong

I always said I was a rover

I always said I couldn't stay

I get the urge and I get restless

To pack my bags and be on my way

So don't be sad and blame yourself

You're not the first you're not the last

It's what I am it's just my nature

You see I'm a travelling man

Yeah I'm just a travelling man

There was a time when I settled

For the domesticated life

I even tried to do the right thing

And took a sweet girl for my wife

But I soon found that I'm no husband

And married life was not for me

So with regret I had to tell her

We'd be better off if I were free

So don't be sad and blame yourself

You're not the first you're not the last

It's what I am it's just nature

You see I'm a travelling man

Yeah I'm a travelling man

So here I am back on the road

Another town a new adventure

Another girl has caught my eye

The need for comfort has no cure

She'll be flattered then convinced

That she can change my hobo ways

That she can do what no one else could

And finally end my roaming days

But I know how this will end

And it's never in a good way

It's happened time and time again

And know what I will say

Didn't I say that I was leaving

Didn't I say that I'd be gone

It's not because you don't love me

It's not that you've done something wrong

I always said I was a rover

I always said I couldn't stay

I get the urge and I get restless

To pack my bags and be on my way

So don't be sad and blame yourself

You're not the first you're not the last

It's what I am it's just my nature

You see I'm a travelling man

Yeah I'm a travelling man
