Baby I know that you’re tired of me 

Leaving town on you 

(For every traveling man) 

Wishing that I didn’t have to go (and woman) 

Do the things I do 

I’ll be home in the morning and 

I’ll spend some time with you 

But I gotta go now 

But I gotta go now 



I know at times you may wonder 

What have I signed up for 

A romance with an invisible man on tour? 

My baby just got home now he’s leaving again 

Every time I pack my bags 

You go from lip poked out to you need any help 

Did you remember such and such when I leave out for the bus 

I’m like dag man how can she be so understanding 

Got you man feeling like a champion 

Your smile still takes my breath away 

Your love keeps me tender so I don’t go astray 

Your voice is therapeutic when I’m thinking of breaking 

I’ve got heaven right here on earth that’s why I’m saying 



I remember when we first started out 

Confusion from the past gave reason for doubt 

Always taking time to pray instead of running away 

Working through all my issues making you grab for the tissues 

I promise to bless you with whatever I can 

Bring you presents from the road cause I’m a traveling man 

Yet you remind me that it cannot substitute for when I’m next to you 

That’s why this kid is en route 

Your smile – a reflection of the face of God 

Your love – strengthening when the game gets hard 

Your voice – speaks truth when I think I can’t make it 

Sorry fellas, but the best one’s taken 



Someday I will make it up to you 

No more five in the morning 

I will be all yours 

You will be all mine 

Gotta go 

Gotta gotta go
