I'm going traveling
I'm traveling down
What pioneers spent miles and years
It's easier now
I can use the money
I can use the shows
But oh I'm gonna miss you
I'll miss you when I go
And I see the time fly
And I'm not well
Have you ever thought that you'd be grown up?
That you'd be grown up by now?
I'm going traveling
I'm traveling back
Back to Indiana
It's like I never left
Oh, no, that's a small thing
It's in my head
No dog nor deer with antler would ever think like that
And I am green with jealousy, would gladly give it back
But well, how the time flies
And I'm not well
I'm losing sleep from sewing sheets with holes to thick to sail
My mind has teeth as sharp and neat as that of killеr whales
Whose jaw and tail for it needs to gnaw on thick and scatterеd scales
Oh, I'm going traveling
I'm traveling down
What pioneers spent miles and years
It's easier now
I can use the money
I can use the shows
But oh, I'm gonna miss you
I'll miss you when I go
