I woke up this morning with travelin’ on my mind
Goodbye old city, I’ll leave you far behind
Old Savannah, you’ve got no hold on me
I’m bound for Louisiana or maybe Tennessee
I woke up this morning with no tears left to cry
The next time you see me will be the bye and bye
Old Savannah, you’ve got no hold on me
I’m bound for Texarkana or maybe Kentucky
That highways a-callin’, that’s where I want to be
The road ahead can be my bed, as long as I am free
Old Savannah, you’ve got no hold on me
I’m passing through Atlanta going home to Missouri
