To play along with the CD, capo at the 2nd fret

Intro: C-slid up to 3rd fret C (play this twice) then C G

[G]A glaring sun at midday makes it hard to see the road

[C]A lot of miles since last night and a whole lot more to go.

[D]The brightness has me blinking, the whole things got me thinking

On [C]the price of a lif[G]e of travelin lite.

[G]Trying to live up to the words that some old writer felt

Spend your youth before you die and dont outlive yourself.[C]

[D]But Lord that gets expensive on troubadours and minstrels

Its the price of a [C]life of travelin l[G]ite.

Chorus:

C (3rd fret) C
Its the price of a life, I guess

C (3rd fret) C
The price of a life, I guess

[C]The price of a [D]life, of tr[C]avelin [G]lite.

[G]Id like to lay down girl, gently in your lap

Let you stroke my hair as I take a nap.[C]

[D]You could hum a lovers tune underneath your breath
I can almost see your face but [C]I aint there [G]yet.

[G]I have lost my mind before, lost my heart a few times for sure
[C]Lost my way, but Ive never lost my keys.[D]

[D]And Ill tell you this for starters, ships aint built for harbors
Its [C]the price of a life[G] of travelin lite.

Chorus

[G]Im travelin [C]lite
[G]Im travelin [C]lite
[G]Im travelin, travelin, travelin [D]lite
[G]Im travelin [C]lite, Im travelin l[G]ite.
