Lyrics

TRAVELIN MAN

If I could be slim
Enough to reach through the phone
I’d wrap my arms around you
And never let go
And I’d wipe your tears
With the palm of my hand
Sometimes it’s hard to be a travelin man

If I could be slim
Enough to fit in this card
I’d mail myself to you
And love you so hard
And I’d hear your words
Though my hearin is bad
Sometimes its hard to be a travelin man

God made the world
Oh and lately it seems in my weary days
He wants me to see more
Of the beautiful people and places he made
And it’s keepin me far
Oh so far far away
Lord sometimes I’m tired
And too weary too weary to pray

If I could be there
At the table with you
We’d talk about the days
Til the evenin is through
And I’d wipe my tears
With the back of my hand
Sometimes it’s hard to be
Sometimes it’s hard child to be
Sometimes it’s hard to be a travelin man
