[Verse 1]
G
A glaring sun at midday makes it hard to see the road
C
A lot of miles since last night and a whole lot more to go
D
The brightness has me blinking, the whole thing's got me thinking
C G
On the price of a life of travelin' lite
[Verse 2]
G
Trying to live up to the words that some old writer felt
C
Spend your youth before you die and don't outlive yourself
D
But Lord that gets expensive on troubadours and minstrels
C G
It's the price of a life of travelin' lite
[Chorus]
D C
It's the price of a life, I guess
D C
The price of a life, I guess
D C G
The price of a life, of travelin' lite
[Verse 3]
G
I'd like to lay my head down girl, gently in your lap
C
Let you stroke my hair as I take a nap
D
You could hum a lover's tune underneath your breath
C G
And I can almost see your face but I ain't there yet
[Verse 4]
G
I have lost my mind before, lost my heart a few times for sure
G7 C
Lost my way, but I've never lost my keys
D
And I'll tell you this for starters, ships ain't built for harbors
C G
It's the price of a life of travelin' lite
[Chorus]
D C
It's the price of a life, I guess
D C
The price of a life, I guess
D C G
The price of a life, of travelin' lite

[Verse 5]
G
Well, I got friends who cannot read, and I got friends with PhDs
G7 C
And everything there is in between
D
And I wouldn't trade a single one, the laughs we've had, the beers we've drunk,
D7 C G
A man that don't need friends ain't no friend to me
[Verse 6]
G
I got friends from there to here, payoff from all these ramblin' years
G7 C
If friends were gold I'd be a king I guess
D
Friendship's better than gold or crowns, havin' a bunch won't weigh you down.
C G
It's the price of a life of traveling lite
[Chorus]
D C
It's the price of a life, I guess
D C
The price of a life, I guess
D C G
The price of a life, of traveling lite
[Outro]
G C
I'm travelin' lite
G
I'm travelin' lite
C G
I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin' lite
C G
I'm travelin' lite, I'm travelin' lite
