I'm a travelling man If you can understand me And right now I like it that way Sure, it's town to town, and lots of running around but I'm putting a lot of miles away And it's the best I know, and I'm sorry you can't go - so I'm going to write you a song today And it's the longest ride I've ever rode And I'll be back in town next year But honey for right now I want to show you how - it feels again to hold you near Lord it's been a long trip, I could use a nip In fact I'd like to get good and stoned And it's good to know, that the word is go And it's not another night alone Hey I love your town, I love your flannel gown And I love to hear you screaming for more And it's the longest ride I've ever rode And I'll be back in town next year But honey for right now I want to show you how - it feels again to hold you near (Scat) I can't tell if you're listening well You might hear the highway sing my name It says today's the day and there ain't no way But I thank you baby just the same I will remember your town and Lord your, flannel gown, but I hope I don't forget your name And it's the longest ride I've ever rode And I'll be back in town next year But honey for right now I want to show you how - it feels again to hold you near (Lord) it feels again to hold you near
