Dead South, The - Travellin' Man Lyrics






Well this is a song about a travellin' man who knows just what he wants.
He thinks he's got it all figured out and tries not to take too much.
He's spent a lot of time tryin' this and that and he knows just what he likes
And he ain't goin' back

Well I've got spiders in my bed and I've got slugs up on the wall
There's a black bee a flyin' round outside of my back door
I'm weather worn my shirt is torn I got dirt comin' out my ears
From being gone all these years

Well one half of my head keeps singing songs of years of old
While the other sheds its skin on aggregates of minerals
I'm a cask of oak, I'm whiskey soaked, been runnin' down the line
Awe pour me another one honey I'm doin' fine

I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run, double whiskey no ice
Well I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like
A pretty lady and sing along songs, to take me through the night

I got sand in my shoes and I got dirt between my toes
There's calm before the storm I hear or so the story goes
I'm dancing in it now, got a sweaty brow, I feel it coursing through my veins
Awe look out baby I'm comin' through when it rains

I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run, double whiskey no ice
Well I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like
A pretty lady and sing along songs, to take me through the night

And I've been gone for so very long
Baby don't think twice, I know we'll be alright
I've got an absence without leave
I've got an ace tucked up my sleeve
With sticks and stones we'll take the throne
And make some history

I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run, double whiskey no ice
Well I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like
A pretty lady and sing along songs, to take me through the night

    the only bad thing about this is that they're from Canada; I don't mean that in a bad way, as a matter of fact I'm glad someone has the balls to keep this style alive. Here in the U.S. country music has morphed into pop with guitar and maybe a fiddle. I hope that our country singers/ and blue grass bands find this guys and see that the audience loves this real southern style music.

    l.... g....

    loudmouth g you know Canadian artist can be good as well right?

    l.... g....

    I think you'd enjoy Alberta and SK. We are the equivalent of the south & west in the States.

    l.... g....

    The only bad thing is the're from Canada, and I don't mean that in a bad way?

    l.... g....

    why does it matter if they are from canada? they are awesome. crank it up

    l.... g....

    +fifteen 4 Because they're called The Dead *South. I was also surprised to find that they're Canadian.

  19. W.... ....

    i'm getting real fucking tired of all your songs being so fucking good. i never thought id like country

    W.... ....

    That's because this isn't country it's bluegrass

    W.... ....

    Wtfzipcode me to these guys are fu..in good

  20. L.... 7....

    Listened to a few songs of theirs before this one and wasn't sure what I thought but, I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE! I really like the classic bluegrass plucking that starts around :21 and comes in elsewhere between lyrics.

    "I know just what I like...double whiskey no ice" - sounds good to me :D

  21. t.... ....

    Greetings from Poland, you are great!

    t.... ....

    takiegowala I’m going to Poland for choir in 3ish months.

  22. s.... c....

    The Dead South's soundi is so real. Keep the songs comin, every one's a hit !! :D

    s.... c....

    shawn coles coukdnt agree more!

  23. M.... ....

    You know The Dead South were influenced by classic Bluegrass such as Flat and Scruggs!

  24. J.... B....

    Influenced by Old Crow Medicine Show for sure!

    J.... B....

    hell no!!!

  25. n.... ....

    Suh-wheat. Is it the grateful dead / New Riders of the Purple Sage influence? Is it the Rider pride? Love it either way - had to Sub! Keep them coming gents!

    n.... ....

    Just found these guys and they are so good! I love their sound, so different :)

    n.... ....

    Yea, I'm a instant fan

    n.... ....

    @Norm E If you like these guys, then you should listen to The Mountain Goats, they're really good too!
