[Verse 1]
   G
A glaring sun at midday makes it hard to see the road
                                                        C
A lot of miles since last night and a whole lot more to go
     D
The brightness has me blinking, the whole thing's got me thinking
                            C        G
On the price of a life of travelin' lite

[Verse 2]
G
Trying to live up to the words that some old writer felt
                                                      C
Spend your youth before you die and don't outlive yourself
     D
But Lord that gets expensive on troubadours and minstrels
                             C         G
It's the price of a life of travelin' lite

[Chorus]
          D          C
It's the price of a life, I guess
     D          C
The price of a life, I guess
     D          C                  G
The price of a life, of travelin' lite

[Verse 3]
     G
I'd like to lay my head down girl, gently in your lap
                                    C
Let you stroke my hair as I take a nap
D
You could hum a lover's tune underneath your breath
                                   C              G
And I can almost see your face but I ain't there yet

[Verse 4]
G
I have lost my mind before, lost my heart a few times for sure
                       G7             C
Lost my way, but I've never lost my keys
          D
And I'll tell you this for starters, ships ain't built for harbors
                              C        G
It's the price of a life of travelin' lite

[Chorus]
          D          C
It's the price of a life, I guess
     D          C
The price of a life, I guess
     D          C                  G
The price of a life, of travelin' lite

[Verse 5]
      G
Well, I got friends who cannot read, and I got friends with PhDs
                     G7      C
And everything there is in between
       D
And I wouldn't trade a single one, the laughs we've had, the beers we've drunk,
                        D7     C                 G
A man that don't need friends ain't no friend to me

[Verse 6]
G
I got friends from there to here, payoff from all these ramblin' years
                         G7           C
If friends were gold I'd be a king I guess
 D
Friendship's better than gold or crowns, havin' a bunch won't weigh you down.
                              C        G
It's the price of a life of traveling lite

[Chorus]
          D          C
It's the price of a life, I guess
     D          C
The price of a life, I guess
     D          C                  G
The price of a life, of traveling lite

[Outro]
G             C
I'm travelin' lite
              G
I'm travelin' lite
               C                                         G
I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin' lite
        C                        G
I'm travelin' lite, I'm travelin' lite
