G                   Cadd9       G
I'm just a traveling man, you see.
G                              Cadd9    G
Wherever this road goes is where I will be
G                             Cadd9   G
And I'll catch me a ride on a boat to Spain
G                                 Cadd9      G
Tell a woman that I love her then forget her name
G                           Cadd9  G
And I wish I could stay for midday coffee
G                         Cadd9    G
But I just can't get this dreamin' off me
G                             Cadd9   G
If I could find me a place to rest my mind
G                               Cadd9    G
But mama always said you'll get there in good time.


[Chorus]
             Cadd9                       G
There's some headlights burning down the highway
                 D                         Em
And I think that I may just hitch me a ride
             Cadd9                G
'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade, sir
           D                            G
We're all runnin' from the things inside


[Verse]
G                              Cadd9    G
Therе's a train headin west to south Toledo
G                                  Cadd9      G
And if thе dogs don't assail me to sleep I'll go
G                            Cadd9    G
Dreamin' as I'm steamin past miles of ground
G                                  Cadd9      G
Through the souls and hymnals that built this town
G                       Cadd9     G
Won't stay too long and leave too soon
G                                   Cadd9       G
The best time for goin' is when the goin' scare you.


[Chorus]
             Cadd9                       G
There's some headlights burning down the highway
                 D                         Em
And I think that I may just hitch me a ride
             Cadd9                G
'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade, sir
           D                            G
We're all runnin' from the things inside


(one strum)
             Cadd9                       G
There's some headlights burning down the highway
                 D                         Em
And I think that I may just hitch me a ride
             Cadd9                G
'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade, sir
           D                            G
We're all runnin' from the things inside
