travelin' shoes

me and my old lady

ain't been gettin' along

things don't get better

i'll soon be long gone

this situation's driving me insane

somebody fetch my coat and hat and hand me my walking cane

gotta put on my travelin' shoes

gotta put on my travelin' shoes

gotta put on my travelin' shoes

gotta put on my travelin' shoes

i'm trying to tell you

boys

these hard-headed women these days

the way they try and treat a man

ain't nothing but a doggone shame

i talk and talk and talk

she didn't hear a word i said

gonna get hank aaron's baseball bat

and tenderize her head

gotta put on my travelin' shoes

gotta put on my travelin' shoes

gotta put on my travelin' shoes

gotta put on my travelin' shoes

oh yeah. i'm trying to tell you

boys

i've just about had enough

i'm not gonna stick around

and put up with all this stuff

this situation is enough to kill a man

somebody fetch my coat and hat and hand me my walking cane

gotta put on my travelin' shoes

gotta put on my travelin' shoes

gotta put on my travelin' shoes

oh yeah.
