Trav'lin' Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm trav'lin' light
Because my man has gone
And from now on
I'm trav'lin' light
He said goodbye
And took my heart away
So from today
I'm trav'lin' light
No one to see
I'm free as the breeze
No one but me
And my memories
Some lucky night
He may come back again
But until then
I'm trav'lin' light
No one to see
I'm free as the breeze
No one but me
And my memories
Some lucky night
He may come back again
But until then
I'm trav'lin' light
I'm trav'lin' light
I'm trav'lin' light
I'm trav'lin' light
