I woke up with closed eyes
To find the lies I told
Like "let's do dinner this Sunday" or
"I got everything under control"
So she waits there by the door
With a glass of red wine wine or 4
So she'll be bold
She said "where you think you're goin'
I'm not waitin' for this fire to grow cold"
She'll ask...
Where you been, travelin' man
Where you been, travelin' man
So I walked out of that door
I'm headed west
"I've had it with this place"
"Can't keep up with the rest"
So I'm driving west I-40
Got my eyes set on I-20
Willies playing loud
I wanna roll down my windows
Get lectured by those old outlaws
Now I'm tradin' the highway
For some old dirt road
Now I'm tradin' in broadway
For a life I think I'm owed
Up all night, come to life
Every little thing runnin' through my mind
Can't change the past
Texas sunrise, what a sight
Every little thing is gonna be alright
Until they ask...
Where you been, travelin' man
Where you been, travelin' man
I rolled into that town
So lovely and brown
Everybody that knows me
Knows where I'll be found
Chill with my friends, talk to my dad
Tell my momma not to be so sad
I'll be back soon
Cause this life they got me livin
Got me out of town
And I'm out by noon
Oh but they'll ask...
Where you goin, travelin' man
Where you goin, travelin' man
