Rode home from Dallas in the back of a pickup truck Had my thumb stuck in the air Guess I found a little luck But when that boy dropped me on the outskirts of my town I tried my best to walk on home but I turned right back around CHORUS: I got a travelin' bone, got to move on Get me to another town Restless and ready, not too steady And never too long around If you think you see me, but maybe you're not sure It's just my travelin' bone you can pick out of the blur 'Cause I got a travelin' bone, got to move on I had a woman, finest girl I've ever known She held on to me, always telling me to "come on home" But after a few days of resting in her arms I was back on the highway Pa**ing truckers signs and farms CHORUS A travelin' bone, got to move on How I got this way I'll never know But papa used to tell me "why stay when you can go" CHORUS A travelin' bone, got to move on A travelin' bone, got to move on Yeah I got a travelin' bone and I'm moving on
