When I was an Astronaut, i didn't have my boot's,
when i was a coal miner, i didn't know the news,
when i owned a record store, i didn't have the blues,
i travel light and that's the life for me.
He doesn't care where else he goes,
he's not gonna take any extra clothes,
or extra shoes to hide his feet,
the ground is dirt, the dirt is sweet.
When i go to London town, ill stand under a rock,
till i know all the time it takes to pack a clock,
then ill flip it over, close the key, swallow the lock,
i travel light and that's the life for me.
He doesn't take his spoon or fork,
he's seen too many eating in new york,
he'll use his hands to pick and eat,
the fruit he finds, he'll find it sweet.
When i was a waitress i gave away my tips,
when i was a call girl i gave away my hips,
when i ran a kissing booth i gave away my lips,
i travel light and that's the life for me.
She lives her life like abandoned wind,
elemental wife, fortune is her friend,
smile on a planet and a river made of light,
she's just a pebble on a waterfall tonight.
When i go to Boston, i stand around in jeans,
and save the cash for Levi's selling black market baked beans,
denim's what i liked to wear, it has durable seems,
i travel light and that's the life for me.
She's just a genius without a thinking cap,
never pays the rent, she's funny like that,
i don't know what she's on, she's here and gone,
rides a welcome mat on a jungle cat.
Fur's and silver chairs and shiny things are just a fuss,
we'll eat all the peanuts that we steal from the circus,
we'll count all the stars and go to sleep under a bus,
we'll travel light and that's the life for us.
