To play along to 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 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.

Chorus:

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.

Chorus

G             C

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.
