Lyric Travelin Minstrel Man

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)

I am a travelin minstrel man
I ll do my best to make you happy if I can
I ll sing my song and move along
Cause I m a travelin minstrel man.

My life is measured by the telephone poles
The mileage lines are on my face
I never care much where that old highway goes
I m happy almost any place.

I m married to a beatup busted guitar
I m obligated to my band
Don t waste your time by making permanent plans
I m only playing one night stands.

Come see the travelin minstrel man
I ll do my best to make you happy if I can
I ll sing my song and move along
Cause I m a travelin minstrel man.

I ve got a suitcase full of stories to tell
Bout all the places that I ve been
When I ve told my stories and I ve sung you my song
I ll be back on the road again.

Shout out the number that you d like me to play
Then clap your hands and sing along
Let s have a good time while we still have today
Because tomorrow I ll be gone.

I am a travelin minstrel man
I ll do my best to make you happy if I can
I ll sing my song and move along
Cause I m a travelin minstrel man.

Come see the travelin minstrel man
Lord, I m a travelin minstrel man...
