One Town At A Time - Pokey LaFarge

Kentucky in the spring time, summer time in Tennessee

When it gets cold, I’m gonna hit the road down to New Orleans

Maybe hub it down to Texas too, where it’s warm the whole year through

When the winter’s gone, I’m moving on to somewhere new

Of travelling I’ve always enjoyed, I kept rambling to stay employed

And when I quit school, my mama said you fool, you’re just a boy

But now she’s changed her tune, cause I’ve been everywhere except the moon

And I’m sure proud that she don’t doubt that I’ll be there soon

Living life one town at a time, with help from these friends of mine

Cause they know that I’ll travel these back roads ‘til the day that I die

With them I’ll be just fine, on this road I don’t mind dyin'

Well I can’t have it all, but I’m having a ball one town at a time

Give me a van or a passenger train, I’ll cross the ocean in a big airplane

In any style, I’m making miles just the same

Yes I gotta see what’s around the bend, there ain’t nothin' but time to spend

Soon as I’m gone, it won’t take long till I’m back again

Bridge:

To all the people back home today, working hard for honest pay

I can’t say enough, cause it sure is tough living that way

But this travelling life of mine, I’m leading one town at a time

So down the road here I go, I don’t mind
