Travel Light

G Am D Bm when i was an astronaut , i didn’t have my boot’s , when i was a coal miner , i didn’t know the news , when i owned a record store , i didn’t have the blues , i travel light and that’s the life for me . he doesn’t care where else he goes , he’s not gonna take any extra clothes , or extra shoes to hide his feet , the ground is dirt , the dirt is sweet . when i go to london town , ill stand under a rock , till i know all the time it takes to pack a clock , then ill flip it over , close the key , swallow the lock , i travel light and that’s the life for me . he doesn’t take his spoon or fork , he’s seen too many eating in new york , he’ll use his hands to pick and eat , the fruit he finds , he’ll find it sweet . when i was a waitress i gave away my tips , when i was a call girl i gave away my hips , when i ran a kissing booth i gave away my lips , i travel light and that’s the life for me . she lives her life like abandoned wind , elemental wife , fortune is her friend , smile on a planet and a river made of light , she’s just a pebble on a waterfall tonight . when i go to boston , i stand around in jeans , and save the cash for levi’s selling black market baked beans , denim’s what i liked to wear , it has durable seems , i travel light and that’s the life for me . she’s just a genius without a thinking cap , never pays the rent , she’s funny like that , i don’t know what she’s on , she’s here and gone , rides a welcome mat on a jungle cat . fur’s and silver chairs and shiny things are just a fuss , we’ll eat all the peanuts that we steal from the circus , we’ll count all the stars and go to sleep under a bus , we’ll travel light and that’s the life for us . we’ll travel light and that’s the life for us x3
