Travelin' in the Lightning

I was born down in Corpus Christi

With a dram glass in my hand

When I was just 15, I got a job playing rhythm

With a Nashville Shaketown band

I've been playing the blues so long

I've been paying my dues so long

I've been traveling in the lightning

Traveling in the lightning

Traveling in the wind and the rain

I've been tryin' and tryin' to find the right place again . . . yeah



Now the last time I saw my sweet old mama,

Her eyesight was looking dim

And the last I saw of my dear old daddy,

His horse was aridin' him . . . yes he was

They've been singing the blues so long

They've been singing such a sad, sad song

They've been traveling in the lightning

Traveling in the lightning

Traveling in the wind and rain

They've been tryin' and tryin' to find the right place again . . . yeah



I've been traveling in the lightning

I've been traveling in the lightning

Traveling in the lightning

Traveling in the wind and the rain

I've been tryin' and tryin' to find the right place again. . . yeah
