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 thingâs got me thinking
C G
On the price of a life of travelinâ lite.
G
Trying to live up to the words that some old writer felt
C
Spend your youth before you die and donât outlive yourself.
D
But Lord that gets expensive on troubadours and minstrels
C G
Itâs the price of a life of travelinâ lite.
Chorus:
C (3rd fret) C
Itâs the price of a life, I guess
C (3rd fret) C
The price of a life, I guess
C D C G
The price of a life, of travelinâ lite.
G
Iâd like to lay down girl, gently in your lap
C
Let you stroke my hair as I take a nap.
D
You could hum a loverâs tune underneath your breath
C G
I can almost see your face but I ainât there yet.
G
I have lost my mind before, lost my heart a few times for sure
C D
Lost my way, but Iâve never lost my keys.
D
And Iâll tell you this for starters, ships ainât built for harbors
C G
Itâs the price of a life of travelinâ lite.
Chorus
G C
Iâm travelinâ lite
G C
Iâm travelinâ lite
G D
Iâm travelin, travelin, travelin lite
G C G
Iâm travelinâ lite, Iâm travelin lite.
