Travelin' Light

Travelin' light travelin' light
I'm just a movin' on down the road and travelin' light

Well I've tried my best to hold what you call a blue collar job
I've been a banker's monkey and a cotton field flunky had my fingers throb
But I gave it all up when I found me a goin' nowhere
And I found a new thing just travelin' light out there

Travelin' light travelin' light...

If you don't own a spare suit of clothes you don't have to have 'em cleaned
And if you don't own a car you don't have to buy no gasoline
All I got is me and you can't get me uptight
Cause I've learned how to be just me by travelin' light

Travelin' light travelin' light...
Travelin' light travelin' light...
Travelin' light travelin' light...

High Lonesome Sound

Michael Murphey - Boomer Castleman

© Alley Music, BMI

The high lonesome sound
Of that Canadian Pacific train then Goover bound
Moovin' across the border line
Goodbye old friend of mine
Will he be much happier where he go
I don't know

The high lonesome sound
Of the silver plains healin' for another town
Young man leavin' home
Tryin' to find a life his own
Will he be much happier where he go
I don't know
[ instrumental ]
And the high lonesome sound
Of a young girl findin' night because she found
That come dawn he'll be gone
Gone gone

It Was Time For Me To Move On Anyway

Bill Anderson

© Stallion Music, BMI

You came in and really caught me by surprise
When you told me you were leavin' me today
You say you've found another you love better
And it was time for me to move on anyway

I've already loved you longer than I meant to
I guess I'd've had to tell you so someday
All you've done is help to make it easy
It was time for me to move on anyway

Thanks for the shelter
And the coffee and the softest lips I've ever kissed
Which one will I miss the most
I can't say
Thanks for the shoulder that I cried on and relied on
You're takin' it away
But that's okay
It was time for me to move on anyway
[ instrumental ]
Fun is not the word of what I found you
You've been fun but in a deeper kind of way
I guess it's really best that you'll be leavin'
Cause it was time for me to move on anyway

I just hate to leave a lady standin' cryin'
And I've loved a few and left 'em in the day
I've just never heard the door slam from the inside
But it was time for me to move on anyway

Thanks for the shelter...
It was time for me to move on anyway

Keep On The Sunny Side

A.P. Carter

© Peer Int, BMI

There's a dark and a stormy side of life
There's a bright and a sunny side too
Though we meet with darkness and strife
The sunny side will also find you

Keep on the sunny side always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help you everyday it will brighten all your way
If you keep on the sunny side of life

Oh the storm in its fury broke today
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear
Clouds and storms will in time pass away
And the sunny side will shine bright and clear

Keep on the sunny side always on the sunny side...
Keep on the sunny side always on the sunny side...

Stayin' Song

Shel Silverstein

© Evil Eye Music, BMI

I stopped cause there was nothin' else to do
And I thought I'd stick around for just a while
But I warned you like a west wind I was only blowin' through
And no one could ever make me change my style

Cause I never sung no stayin' song before
I've done them blues and goodbye tunes a thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange that I ain't a headin' for the door
But I never sung no stayin' song never thought I'd stay this long
Never sung no stayin' song before

I usually leave when all the words are said
But with you there's always more sweet things to say
But when my mind starts a wanderin' up that windin' road ahead
My feet don't seem to want to walk away

And I never sung no stayin' song before...

Last night I heard an old freight whistle blow
While I was a sleepin' warmly in our bed
And it told me boy it's time that you was packing up to go
But I smiled and shook the leavin' from my head

And I never sung no stayin' song before...

Never sung no stayin' song never thought I'd stay this long
Never sung no stayin' song before

The Call

Gene McLellan

© Beechwood Music, BMI

Well it's a long distance phone
And I feel so alone here without her
It's a crime and a shame I ain't got the change
And don't you know that I worry about her

Well I've been all over town
Every street up and down looking for the man
It's just a face in the crowd where the traffic roars loud
But don't you know he'd be proud to give a helping hand

Mister can you and it in your heart just to lend me a dollar
Cause the times have been slow I'm fresh outta dough
And I ain't got the money to call her

I threw my pride out the door
Cause I've been turned down before but I'll keep trying
This kind of pain is kind of hard to explain
But the feeling's the same as like dying

You put the change in my hand well you're the world's kindest man
And I thank you sir
You'll never know what you've done for this poor mother's son
A thirsty man just got a cool cup of water

Mister can you and it in your heart to lend me one dollar...
Hey Mister can you and it in your heart to lend me a dollar...
Hey Mister can you and it in your heart to lend me a dollar...
