Traveling Alone-Tift Merritt

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