Well I'm travelin', travelin' baby, travelin' on
Well it's good to see you but I can't stay long
No I've got a travelin' fever, baby, got a travelin' jones
No don't look for me in the mornin', baby, I'm gonna be travelin' on

I'll be good, as good as gold
To the next or maybe better
Wait for me down the road
Keep one eye open for my letter

Cause I'm gonna be travelin', travelin' baby, travelin' on
Lord it's good to see you but I can't stay long
Oh I've got a travelin' fever, baby, got a travelin' jones
Well don't look for me in the mornin', baby, I'm gonna be travelin'
Gonna be travelin', gonna be travelin' on

I'll be up before the sun

Get a big jump on the morning
You should have known all along
You should have known you'd get no warning
And I'm gonna be travelin', travelin' baby, travelin' on
But lord it's good to see you but I won't stay long
Oh I got a travelin' fever, baby, I got a travelin' jones
Yeah don't look for me in the mornin', baby, I'm gonna be travelin'
Gonna be travelin', gonna be travelin' on

Travelin' on, travelin' on
Travelin' on, travelin' on

Well I'm travelin', travelin' baby, travelin' on
Yeah it's good to see you but I can't stay long
Yeah I got a travelin' fever, baby, a travelin' jones
Well don't look for me in the mornin', baby, I'm gonna be travelin'
Gonna be travelin', gonna be travelin' on

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – an L.A.-based gang of sharp-dressed garage-rock refugees from Gainsville, Florida – released their debut LP in November 1976, featuring two tracks which are now part of their long list of hits, “Breakdown” and “American Girl.”

Since that first LP in ‘76, the band’s style has epitomized and largely defined the American “heartland rock” movement – a vintage-guitar twang, hard lyric truth, and searing vocal attitude.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have been nominated for 17 Grammy awards and sold more than 80 million records worldwide, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of all-time.
