Travellin' Man '09

Mac Miller · The High Life [2009]

Memories don't live like people do

they always remember you

whether things are good or bad, it's just the memories

Memories don't live like people do (baby don't forget me)

I'm a travelling man, moving through places

take some time

got a lot of things I got to do

But lord willing I'm comming back to you, baby boo.

I'm a travelling man, moving through places

take some time

got a lot of things I got to do

But god willing I'm comming back to you, baby boo.

I'm leaving on a jet plane and don't know when I'll be back again

Kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me.

Hold me like you'll never let me go.
