Travelin’ Lite

[Verse 1]
A glaring Sun at midday makes it hard to see the road
A lot of miles since last night and a whole lot more to go
The brightness has me blinkin' and the whole thing's got me thinkin'
On the price of a life of travelin' lite

Tryin' to live up to the words that some old writer felt
"Spend your youth before you die and don't outlive yourself"
Lord that gets expensive on troubadours and minstrels
It's the price of a life of travelin' lite

[Chorus]
It's the price of a life I guess
The price of a life I guess
The price of a life
Of travelin' lite

[Verse 2]
Well I'd like to lay my head down girl gently in your lap
Let you stroke my hair as I take a nap
You could hum a lover's tune underneath your breath
And I can almost see your face but I ain't there yet

I have lost my mind before
Lost my heart a few times for sure
Lost my way but I've never lost my keys
And I'll tell you this for starters
Ships ain't built for harbors
It's the price of a life of travelin' lite

[Chorus]
It's the price of a life I guess
The price of a life I guess
The price of a life
Of travelin' lite

[Verse 3]
Well I got friends who cannot read
And I got friends with PhDs
And everything there is in between
And I wouldn't trade a single one
The laughs we've had the beers we've drunk
A man that don't need friends ain't no friend to me

I got friends from there to here
That pay off from all these ramblin' years
If friends were god I'd be a king I guess
Friendship's better than gold or crowns
Havin' a bunch won't weigh you down
It's the price of a life of travelin' lite

[Chorus]
It's the price of a life I guess
The price of a life I guess
The price of a life
Of travelin' lite

[Outro]
I'm travelin' lite
I'm travelin' lite
I'm travelin' travelin' travelin' travelin' travelin' lite
I'm travelin' lite
I'm travelin' lite
