Lyrics
Travelon' Dad
31st of March, I was 3 years old
I was bundled up, it was wintery cold
Either on the phone or just packin' a bag
Said he loved his work that's my travelin' Dad
Chorus:
Hey, where you goin'?
Can I come along with you?
In the early morn, b'fore the sun comes up
He would sip coffee from his favorite cup
Like a cat, cat said to dog, dog
Come-on rev me up, don't be a bump on a log -repeat CH-
In the time it takes just to go for a walk
He was always there when I needed to talk
Like Joe, Joe said to Rob, Rob
There's no finer place than to have a good job -repeat CH-
Though I missed him so on those travel nights
I would pray out load he would have a safe flight
Shouldered overcoat and a tie undone
When he walks through the door he'll be ready for fun -repeat CH-
31st of March, I turned 4 years old
I was bundled up, it was wintery cold
Either on the phone or just packin' a bag
Said he loved his work that's my travelin' Dad -repeat CH-
