Traveling Band Songtext
von Ronnie Hawkins

747 Comin′ out of the sky
Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride?
I wanna move
Say you need a travelin′ band, yeah
Well, I'm tryin' to make a livin′
Tryin′ to get a hand
Playin' in a travelin′ band

Get me to the hotel
Baggage car, no wealth
Come on, come on
Won't you take me to my room?
I wanna move
Say you need a travelin′ band, yeah
Well, I'm tryin′ to make a livin'
Tryin' to get a hand
Playin′ in a travelin′ band


Listen to the radio
Talkin' ′bout the last show
Someone got excited and they called a state militia
Wanna move
Say you need a travelin' band, yeah
Well, I′m tryin' to make a livin′
Tryin' to get a hand
Say you need a travelin' band, ah

Here we come again on a Saturday night
With your fussin′ and your fightin′
Won't you get me to my ride?
I wanna move
Playin′ in a travelin' band, yeah
Well, I′m tryin' to make a livin′
Tryin' to get a hand
Say you need a travelin' band, yeah

Say you need a travelin′ band
Lord, you need a travelin′ band, ow
Got to have a travelin' band, woo
Lord, you need a travelin′ band
Well, I'm tryin′ to make a livin'
Tryin′ to get a hand
Say you need a travelin' band
Tryin' to make a livin′
Tryin′ to get a hand
Say you need a travelin' band, ah
