Got no bags and baggage to slow me down I'm traveling so fast my feet ain't touching the ground Traveling' light, traveling' light Well I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight No comb and no toothbrush I've got nothing to haul I'm carryin' only A pocket full of dreams A hand full of love And they weigh nothing at all Soon I'm going to see that love look in her eyes I'm a hoot and a holler away from paradise Traveling' light, traveling' light I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight No comb and no toothbrush I've got nothing to haul I'm carryin' only A pocket full of dreams A hand full of love And they weigh nothing at all Soon I'm going to see that love look in her eyes I'm a hoot and a holler away from paradise Traveling' light Well I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight
