No one's ever really ready
When the curtain finally falls
It's so hard to hold it steady
When your numbers' called
It's a lifetime full of worry
It all gets washed away
As the ones you loved surround you
On your travelin' day

[Chorus]
Travelin' day
I'm as good as gone
Travelin' day
But I'm ready to go home
Travelin' day

No I'm not the first to travel
Won't be the last to go
There's a lesson in my leaving
That everyone should know
Better get your house in order
Before your race is run
Tell your little ones you love them
And show em' how it's done

[Chorus]
Travelin' day
I'm as good as gone
Travelin' day
But I'm ready to go home
Travelin' day
