TRAVELIN' BAND

Original Creedence Clearwater Revival version

Seven Thirty Seven coming out of the sky
Oh won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
I wanna move
Playing in a traveling band, yeah
Well I'm flying across the land trying to get a hand
Playing in a traveling band

Take me to the hotel, baggage gone, oh well
Come on, come on, won't you get me to my room
I wanna move
Playing in a traveling band, yeah
Well I'm flying across the land trying to get a hand
Playing in a traveling band

Listen to the radio talking about the last show
Someone got excited, had to call the state militia
I wanna move
Playing in a traveling band, yeah
Well I'm flying across the land trying to get a hand
Playing in a traveling band
Whoa!

Here we come again on a Saturday night
Oh with your fussing and your fighting won't you get me to the rhyme
I wanna move
Playing in a traveling band, yeah
Well I'm flying across the land trying to get a hand
Playing in a traveling band
Whoa!

Oh I'm playing in a traveling band
Playing in a traveling band
Won't you get me, take my hand
Well I'm playing in a traveling band
Well I'm flying across the land trying to get a hand
Playing in a traveling band
Whoa!

Hey
