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
