[Verse]
Most guys buy themselves houses
And promptly box themselves in
With the stove and the wife
A subscription to Life
And the sound of Junior practicing violin
(Hey Junior, bedtime)
And they no longer dream about places they'll go
They just brood about places they've been
Well, thank you very much
Though the joys be many
Thank you very much
I'm not having any

[Chorus]
I'm travelin' light
No one's weighin' me down
Got my ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to blow town
Ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to blow town
I'm travelin' light
Mister, see what I mеan?
Got my ticket in my pocket if I don't like your routinе
Ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to break clean
And I'm damned if your mortgage I'll carry
Though your proposition's a beaut
And I'm damned if your sister I'll marry
I guess I left my heart in my other suit
And I'm travelin' light
No one's weighin' me down
Got my ticket in my pocket for the minute the gods frown
Ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to blow town
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And I'm damned if your mortgage I'll carry
Though your proposition's a beaut
And I'm damned if your sister I'll marry
I guess I left my heart in my other suit
And I'm travelin' light
No one's weighin' me down
Got my ticket in my pocket for the minute the gods frown
Ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to blow town
Ticket in my pocket and I'm ready to blow town
