Travelin'
Tom Petty · Other Songs - Tom Petty
Well it's good to see you but I can't stay long
No I've got a travelin' fever baby, got a travelin' Jones
No don't look for me in the mornin' baby, I'm gonna be travelin' on
I'll be good, as good as gold to the next or maybe better
Wait for me down the road, keep one eye open for my letter
'Cause I'm gonna be travelin', travelin' baby, travelin' on
Lord, it's good to see you but I can't stay long
Oh, I've got a travelin' fever baby, got a travelin' Jones
Well don't look for me in the mornin' baby, I'm gonna be travelin'
Gonna be travelin', gonna be travelin' on
I'll be up before the sun, get a big jump on the morning
You should have known all along
You should have known you'd get no warning
And I'm gonna be travelin', travelin' baby, travelin' on
But Lord, it's good to see you but I won't stay long
Oh, I got a travelin' fever baby, I got a travelin' Jones
Yeah, don't look for me in the mornin' baby, I'm gonna be travelin'
Gonna be travelin', gonna be travelin' on
Travelin' on, travelin' on, travelin' on, travelin' on
Well I'm travelin', travelin' baby, travelin' on
Yeah it's good to see you but I can't stay long
Yeah I got a travelin' fever baby, a travelin' Jones
Well don't look for me in the mornin' baby, I'm gonna be travelin'
Gonna be travelin', gonna be travelin' on
