Well, Athis is a song about a travellin' man who knows just what he wants

[Intro]

[Verse]

Well, this is a song about a travellin' man who knows just what he wants

He's spent a lot of time tryin' this and that and he knows just what he likes and he ain't goin' back

From being gone all these years

I'm a cask of oak, I'm whiskey soaked, been runnin' down the line

Aw, pour me another one honey, I'm doin' fine

A pretty lady and sing along songs, it'll take me through the night

Well, I got sand in my shoes and I got dirt between my toes

There's calm before the storm I hear or so the story goes

I'm dancing in it now, got a sweaty brow, I can feel it coursing through my

veins

Aw, look out baby I'm comin' through when it rains

With sticks and stones we'll take the throne

And make some history

[Chorus]
