Bob Seger - Travelin' Man / Beautiful Loser as heard on the "Live Bullet" album


(Travelin' Man)

Up with the sun, gone with the wind,
She always said I was lazy.
Leavin' my home, leavin' my friends,
Runnin' when things get too crazy, yeah.
Out to the road, out 'neath the stars,
Feelin' the breeze, passin' the cars.

Women have come, women have gone,
Every one tryin' to cage me, yeah.
Ah, some were so sweet, I barely got free,
Others, they only enraged me.
Sometimes at night, I see their faces,
I feel the traces they've left on my soul.

And those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul,
I tell ya, those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul.

Oh, travelin' man, love when I can,
Turn loose my hand cause Im goin', yeah.
Travelin' man, love when I can,
But sooner than later I'm goin'

Oh, Travelin' man
Travelin' man, oh yeah

Sometimes at night, I see their faces,
I feel the traces they've left on my soul.
And those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul,
Tell ya, those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul, ah,

(ad lib)
Yeah, Travelin' man, yeah, huh!
Oh, come on now, ah yeah,
Got to keep on moving,
Keep right on moving, hey!
Oh yeah, ooooh hey!

(Beautiful Loser)

He wants to dream like a young man
With the wisdom of an old man.
He wants his home and security,
He wants to live like a sailor at sea.

Beautiful loser, where you gonna fall?
You realize you just don't need it all.

He's your oldest and your best friend,
If you need him, he'll be there again.
He's always willing to be second best,
A perfect lodger, a perfect guest.

Beautiful loser, read it on the wall
And realize, you just don't need it all.
Hey you just don't need it all,
You don't need it all
Oh, oh, oh oh, don't need it all
Hey, you can try but you can't have it all, oh no no

He'll never make any enemies, enemies, no
He won't complain if he's caught on his knees, no,
He'll always ask, he'll always say please.

Beautiful loser, never take it all
'cause it's easier, and faster when you fall,
You just don't need it all
Ah, you just don't need it all
Oh, you just don't need it all
