Me and my old lady ain't been getting along
things dont get better, I'll soon be long gond
this situation is driving me insane
somebody fetch my coat and hat
and hand me my walking cane
gotta put on my travelin shoes
gotta put on my travelin shoes
gotta put on my travelin shoes
gotta put on my travelin shoes
I try to tell you boys these hard-headed women these days
way they treat a man nothing but a doggone shame
I talk and talk and talk she didn't hear a word I sid
gonna get Hank Aarons baseball bat and tenderize her head
gotta put on my travelin shoes
gotta put on my travelin shoes
gotta put on my travelin shoes
gotta put on my travelin shoes
oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
I try to tell you boys, I've just about had enough
I'm not gonna stick around and put up with all this stuff
this situation is enough to kill a man
somebody fetch my coat and hat
and hand me my walking cane
gotta put on my travelin shoes
gotta put on my travelin shoes
gotta put on my travelin shoes
gotta put on my travelin shoes
gotta put on my travelin shoes
things dont get better, I'll soon be long gond
this situation is driving me insane
somebody fetch my coat and hat
and hand me my walking cane
gotta put on my travelin shoes
gotta put on my travelin shoes
gotta put on my travelin shoes
