Traveling Man (Live) - Zach Bryan

I'm just a traveling man, you see Wherever this road goes is where I will be And I'll catch me a ride on a boat to Spain Tell a woman that I love her then forget her name And I wish I could stay for midday coffee But I just can't get this dreamin' off me If I could find me a place to rest my mind But mama always said you'll get there in good time There's some headlights burning down the highway And I think that I may just hitch me a ride 'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade, sir We're all runnin' from the things inside Therе's a train headin west to south Toledo And if thе dogs don't assail me to sleep I'll go Dreamin' as I'm steamin past miles of ground Through the souls and hymnals that built this town Won't stay too long and leave too soon The best time for goin' is when the goin' scare you There's some headlights burning down the highway And I think that I may just hitch me a ride 'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade, sir We're all runnin' from the things inside There's some headlights burnin' down the highway And I think that I may just hitch me a ride 'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade, sir We're all running from the things inside

The man I loved ran a salesman route Selling goods from house to house And I knew my mama would never stand For me stepping out with no traveling man My mama bought things that he was a'selling But mama didn't know and I sure wouldn't telling That behind her back I was making my plans To meet somewhere with that traveling man Oh, the traveling man was a good bit older But a girl needs arms to hold her My mama didn't know 'cause I didn't told her My mama wouldn't understand Me stepping out with a traveling man Mama didn't allow me a'going courting And I'd tell her lies that I reckon I oughtn't Oh but she'd a'give me the back a' her hand If she'd had seen me with that traveling man So I tell my mama that I reckon I oughta Go to the spring and fetch us some water What mama didn't know is I had a plan To meet down there with that traveling man Now I make plans to run away With that traveling man on a Saturday Well, Saturday's here and here I stand And there goes my mama with that traveling man Oh, that traveling man was a two-time lover He took my love then he took my mother But I didn't know 'cause mama didn't told me and I don't understand My mama running off with my traveling man Mama, you know you oughtn't had done that You just like my daddy, he ran off before I ever knowed him You done ran-off with my traveling man And I really don't think I ever knowed you either Oh, there goes my mama with my traveling man I'm really gonna miss that traveling man

My love left when you went ghost and stole my energy With my friends ageing and your friends fading I need you to Come back, come back, come back, come back Come back to me Come back, come back, come back, come back Come back to me When I get famous, I won't do you wrong (I won't do you wrong) oh no When I get mainstream, they'll still be your songs And you don't worry about a thing I'm still travelling alone, ooh Baby, when I get finished at the studio, you know I'm gonna call your phone Your phone, saying Come back, come back, come back, come back Come back to me Come back, come back, come back, come back Come back to me When I get famous, I won't do you wrong (I won't do you wrong) Why when I tell you the truth, you still look at me like I'm a phoney One, two, three Your face tells me what you never say In the tropics searching for a fucking getaway I was all you ever needed, why'd you run away Tell me what I gotta do or say for you to Come back, come back, come back, come back Come back to me nah, no, no, no Come back, come back, come back, come back Come back to me (nah, no, no, no) When I get famous, I won't do you wrong (I won't do you wrong) You break me apart with your silence I did nothing wrong So just come back Come back Come back Come back

Who are you gonna run to, Now your ass is on the line. Who do you think you're foolin' We ain't got the time. Don't try to tell me, Who's wrong or right. Don't say that I There's no point in tryin' to change it at all. Tonight, tonight, Let's leave it alone, Leave it alone tonight, We can't change it at all. Forget the things I told you, Let's just sleep on it for now. It's your misunderstanding, I don't wanna hear you out. Two wrongs baby, They don't make a right. It's hardly worth the heartache, Let's leave it alone, leave it alone.
