Lyrics

Seven thirty-seven comin’ out of the sky
Oh! Won’t you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
I wanna move

Playin’ in a travelin’ band. Yeah!
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, trying to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band

Take me to the hotel, baggage gone, oh, well
Come on, come on, won’t you get me to my room
I wanna move

Playin’ in a travelin’ band. Yeah!
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, trying to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band

Listen to the radio, talkin’ ’bout the last show
Someone got excited, had to call the state militia
Wanna move

Playin’ in a travelin’ band. Yeah!
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, trying to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band

Oh! Wow!

Here we come again on a Saturday night
Oh with your fussin’ and your fightin’
Won’t you get me to the rhyme?
I wanna move

Playin’ in a travelin’ band. Yeah!
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, trying to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band

Oh! Wow!

Oh! I’m playin’ in a travelin’ band
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Won’t you get me, take me hand
Well, I’m playin’ in a travelin’ band
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land
Tryin’ to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band, oh! Wow!

Hey!
