Sitting at the busstop, folks are passing by I've been walking all these roads, I'm desperate for a ride My hands are all cold, but I still play nice I've got to earn some cash, to get me through the night I may look like a drifter But I'm a travelling man No I ain't no wanderer I'm just a travelling man Went down to the railroad, hoping for a train to come Gotta leave this city, I've been here for far too long Got nothing left to live for, my work here is done I Gotta catch that train, to move it all along I may look like a drifter But I'm a travelling man No I ain't no wanderer I'm just a travelling man Standing at the crossroads, tell me what's it gonna be Played in every town, and now I am down on my knees. I am the king of the road, but I've been hurting my feet I am travelling man, but a home is what I need I may look like a drifter But I'm a travelling man No I ain't no wanderer I'm just a travelling man I may look like a drifter But I'm a travelling man
