Travelin Band
Creedence Clearwater Revival Lyrics

Seven thirty seven comin' out of the sky
The singer wants to travel to Memphis and is eager to catch the next flight.

Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
The singer asks if someone can help them get to Memphis on a ride that leaves at midnight.

I want to move Playin' in a travelin' band Yeah Well I'm flyin' 'cross the land tryin' to get a hand Playin' in a travelin' band
The singer is part of a band that travels a lot, and they are currently trying to make it big in the music industry.

Take me to the hotel baggage gone, oh well Come on, come on won't you get me to my room I want to move Playin' in a travelin' band Yeah Well I'm flyin' 'cross the land, tryin' to get a hand Playin' in a travelin' band
The band has arrived at their destination, but they are anxious to get settled in their hotel room so that they can keep moving and performing.

Listen to the radio talkin' 'bout the last show Someone got excited, had to call the state militia Want to move Playin' in a travelin' band Yeah Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land, tryin' to get a hand Playin' in a travelin' band
The artist hears about an incident that occurred during their last performance and is determined to keep moving on to the next show, still trying to make it big.

Here we come again on a Saturday night With your fussin' and your fightin' won't you get me to the rhyme I want to move Playin' in a travelin' band Yeah Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land, tryin' to get a hand Playin' in a travelin' band
The band is on their way to another performance, anticipating a fun Saturday night despite any potential conflicts that may arise.

Playin' in a travelin' band Playin' in a travelin' band Won't you give myself a hand? Playin' in a travelin' band Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land, tryin' to get a hand Playin' in a travelin' band
The singer is proud of being in a successful traveling band, but still craves recognition and validation for their hard work and ambition.
