Traveling Man
Mike Posner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
made a lot of stops, all over the world
But in every part, i own the heart
of at least one lovely girl.
I have a pretty senorita
waiting for me
when i get back to LA
when i was in cancun
i still don't know their names
oh my georgia beach down in ATL
calls me everyday
and my brooklyn girl back in NYC
meets me at JFK
pretty pouerto rican baby i met at the bar
i remember the time
i left the studio late
but you fixed me a plate
and then you let me spend the night
ohh i'm a traveling man
yes i'm a traveling man
ohh i'm a traveling man
