Intro: C   F C   F C 

                    F       C 
This morning, if it all was gone 

Funny thing, it wouldn't phase me none 
                  F        C 
Might feel like I just got home 

You know, I always had a taste for traveling alone 


              F         C 
Only get this one time 'round 

Better speak up straight, better speak up proud 
                   F      C 
Good Lord, if he's not at home 
                                               F  
Well, I always had a taste for traveling alone 


C        F     C 
Oh, if I had a son 

I would make him laugh, I would teach him something 
                        F         C 
I'd say, Son, you gotta hold your own 

And it's good to have a taste for traveling alone
