Jeep Man, below is how I hear it.

T MAN BLUES #2
(R.Book Binder/W. Ochoa)

Goin' out west through Alabama, Mississippi
Sayin' Louisiana here I am
Goin' out west sayin' Louisiana here I am
Goin' out west, Louisiana here I am
Headin' down to ol' Blue Goose, hear them blues again
Drivin' on down to Fannin Street, hear Jesse pick guitar
Drivin' on down, hear Jesse
Drivin' on down, hear Jesse pick guitar
Tell me 'bout them good old days, baby,
Place was goin' so far

I'm a travellin' man and I'm all alone
And I'm on the road again
Travellin' man and I'm on the road again
Travellin' man and I'm on the road again
I don't know where I'm goin', but I'll tell you where I've been

High speed cruisin' back to Dallas town, she don't treat me right
High speed cruisin', she don't treat me right
She's a mean, mistreater, man, mistreat me every night
Baby spend my money, spend my money, on all them foolish things
Baby spend my money on all them foolish things
Baby spend my money on all them foolish things
Been out jukin', jumpin', jivin' around, now she wants a diamond ring

Travellin' man and I'm all alone
And I'm on the road again
Travellin' man and I'm on the road again
Travellin' man and I'm on the road again
I don't know where I'm goin', tell you where I've been


Rollin' 'cross that desert sand, California here I come
Rollin' 'cross that desert sand, cryin' California here I come
California here I come
I'm a motivatin' man through the land of dreams
And I'm lookin' for to find me some
Earthquakes, heartaches and hot dry sun
I believe it's time to go
Believe it's time to go
Okay, darlin', come follow me, but there's one thing you must know

Travellin' man and I'm all alone
And I'm on the road again
Travellin' man and I'm on the road again
I'm a travellin' man and I'm on the road again
I don't know where I'm goin', but I'll tell you where I've been
