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
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 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 mmm

Then I left that town
When I was 17 years old
That's my story

I come to cincinatti
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
