This morning, if it all was gone
Funny thing, it wouldn't phase me none
F C
Might feel like I just got home
You know, I always had a taste for traveling alone
F C
Only get this one time 'round
Better speak up straight, better speak up proud
F C
Good lord, if he's not at home
F
Well, I always had a taste for traveling alone
C F C
Oh, if I had a son
I would make him laugh, I would teach him something
F C
I'd say, Son, you gotta hold your own
And it's good to have a taste for traveling alone
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F C
F C
Oh, if I had a love
I would say, Man, got to keep up
F C
Got to lay down, baby, feed my soul
'Cause you know I got a taste for traveling alone
F C
Oh, if I had a song
I would sing it now, wouldn't take too long
F C
I'd sing, "Goodness is a real bare bone"
And it's what you do when you're traveling alone
F C
Down south, baby, in the heat
I was raised up right, I was raised so sweet
F C
Sweetness ain't gonna get you home
Oh, you're bound to get a taste of traveling alone
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F C F C F C
F C
I know that the world is mean
I know it don't care, I been around, I seen
F C
It's like a pretty girl who don't even know
I guess everybody here is traveling alone
F C
Cigarettes and a pick up truck
I'm gonna leave this town now, I got to press my luck
F C
Ocean gonna break so slow
You know, I always had a taste for traveling alone
