Original Traveling Man Lyrics - Dave Dudley

I knew the state of ol' Wisconsin back when I was eight 

I sang all over Minneapolis lookin' for a break 

I rode the rapid rivers with the Chiquoia Indian tribe 

I traveled on my thumb though it injured my pride 

I'm the world's worst world's first go-while-you-can original traveling man 

The world's best forget the rest one night stand original traveling man 

I've traveled down to Nashville just a looking for a song 

I've traveled down to Mexico just a looking for a home 

I guess I've got a self-winding watch for a mind 

I start runnin' down if I ain't movin' all the time 

I'm the world's worst world's first... 

[ guitar ] 

I've traveled in a PT boat and fought for Uncle Sam 

I've been as close to death as any living man 

I've traveled in a limousine and I've traveled in a truck 

I've traveled by myself ma'm but thank you very much 

I'm the world's worst world's first... 

Hey I'm the world's worst world's first...
