Intro: C C 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 thing?s got me thinking 
                         C                 G              
On the price of a life of travelin? lite. 
G 
Trying to live up to the words that some old writer felt 
                                                      C 
Spend your youth before you die and don't outlive yourself. 
D 
But Lord that gets expensive on troubadours and minstrels 
                    C                  G 
It's the price of a life of travelin? lite. 

 
C (3rd fret)         C 
It's the price of a life, I guess 
C (3rd fret)      C 
The price of a life, I guess 
C              D          C       G 
The price of a life, of travelin? lite. 
G 
I?d like to lay down girl, gently in your lap 

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

D                                                 
You could hum a lover?s tune underneath your breath 
                               C             G    
I can almost see your face but I ain't there yet. 

G 
I have lost my mind before, lost my heart a few times for sure 
C                                      D                  
Lost my way, but I've never lost my keys. 
     
And I?ll tell you this for starters, ships ain't built for harbors 
                   C                  G           
It's the price of a life of travelin? lite. 

 
G             C 
I'm travelin? lite 
G             C 
I'm travelin? lite 
G                                 D 
I'm travelin, travelin, travelin  lite 
G             C                   G 
I'm travelin? lite, I'm travelin lite.
