A glaring sun at midday makes it hard to see the road

A lot of miles since last night and a whole lot more to go.
D
The brightness has me blinking, the whole thingās got me thinking
C G
On the price of a life of travelinā lite.
G
Trying to live up to the words that some old writer felt
C
Spend your youth before you die and donāt outlive yourself.

But Lord that gets expensive on troubadours and minstrels
C G
Itās the price of a life of travelinā lite.
Chorus:
C (3rd fret) C
Itās the price of a life, I guess

The price of a life, I guess
C D C G
The price of a life, of travelinā lite.
G
Iād 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 loverās tune underneath your breath
C G
I can almost see your face but I aināt there yet.
G
I have lost my mind before, lost my heart a few times for sure
C D
Lost my way, but Iāve never lost my keys.
D
And Iāll tell you this for starters, ships aināt built for harbors
C G
Itās the price of a life of travelinā lite.
Chorus
G C

Iām travelinā lite

Iām travelin, travelin, travelin lite
G C G
Iām travelinā lite, Iām travelin lite.
