When I first started travelin', travelin'
I left home when I was young
When I first started travelin'
I left home when I was young
I left Old Mississipi
Made my first stop in Memphis Tennessee
True story of my life
I worked in Memphis Tennessee
Down at the New Days picture show
ย
Everybody, everybody wanna hear my story
They wanna know, they wanna know
Just how old I was when I left home
I was only 14 years old when I hit the road
I left Mississippi
Mmm
I come to Memphis Tennessee
I worked there
I wasn't makin much money
I work all day
Play my guitar at night
Mmm
Then I left that town
When I was 17 years old
That's my story
I come to Cincinnati
Mmm
I stayed down
Two long years
I didn't get no break
I come down
Old Detroit Michigan
I got my start in Detroit, mmm
I been there, I been there ever since
ย
That's my story, that's my story
That's my story of my life
That's my story
That's my story, mmm
I had a hard time
ย
Now I'm doin alright
That's my story that's my story, people
That's my story of my life
