[Verse 1]
The lights of the motel shine onto me
This is the land of the brave, sad, and lonely
The last ride's
Comin' to me, I can feel it
A new life
Screamin' out and I can't miss it

[Chorus]
Travelling man
Travelling man
Get away if you can

[Verse 2]
My body's shaking, my body's tired
Hookers to the left of me, killers on the inside
The last train
Left this station long ago
The headlights
Shine like diamonds in the snow

[Chorus]
Like a travelling man
I'm a travelling man
Run away if you can
[Bridge]
Cruel world keeps turnin', I'm dead on my feet
From the blue icy mountains to white city heat
Factory fire burns like a phoenix tonight
Spread your wings, come on, darlin'
(Yeah)

[Verse 3]
And your eyes
Search for me, but I can't see them
And your sweet mouth
It speaks to me, but I can't hear it
And your, your sweet smile
Two thousand miles for your warm kisses
And your sweet child
I got one last chance and I can't miss it
No, no, no, no

[Chorus]
Travelling man
Like a travelling man
Yeah, like a travelling man
