Slim Dusty - Born a Travelling Man lyrics

rate me

Once again my suitcase and guitar are by the door,

It even seems old purple knows the reason,

Three months on the road and I'm barely back at home,

But I'm no sooner settled than I'm leavin',

Travelling with the show to places rarely ever seen,

Or visiting old friends in outback towns.

Every mile a memory lane and I keep goin' back again,

So there'll be no chance of ever slowin' down.

Hey! but you know you can still smell the roses,

When you're runnin' with them in your hand,

I never stay too long, I'm always movin' on,

An' I'm not about to change the way I am,

So I guess that I was born a travellin' man.

Hey! You know you can still smell the roses,

When you're runnin' with them in your hand,

I never stay too long, I'm always movin' on,

An' I'm not about to change the way I am,

So I guess that I was born a travellin' man.

Hey! You know you can still smell the roses,

When you're runnin' with them in your hand,

I never stay too long, I'm always movin' on,

An' I'm not about to change the way I am,

So I guess that I was born a travellin' man.
