Get the yard cut down and the babies fed A million songs runnin' through my headDaylight comes, I'll be gone again When does a highway ever end?My shoulders bear such a heavy load Hard to keep my thoughts all in a rowI can't slow down the life I've chose Somehow I love the way it goesTime moves fast and the wheels turn slow That's how the life of a travelin' man goesThe winds of change are blowin' through Just like they're always gonna doThey'll turn the page to another name A different picture in the same old frameLightning's flashin' up ahead A million songs runnin' through my headI can't name every place I've been If the Lord isn't willin' I'll be there againTime moves fast and the wheels turn slow That's how the life of a travelin' man goes*
