Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whoa baby, will travel
Uh-huh, uh-huh, have love
Whoa baby, will travel
I said If you need lovin'
Then mmm-hmm, I'll travel
Well, I travel from Maine to Mexico
No matter where, no matter where I'll be
I'm lookin' for a woman that'll satisfy me
Have love
Whoa babe, I will travel
I say, yeah-yeah, have love
Whoa babe, I will travel
I said If you need lovin'
Then mmm-hmm, I'll travel
Whaaa
Have love
Whoa babe, I will travel
Oh hey, a-hey, have love
Pretty baby, will travel
I said If you need lovin'
Then mmm-hmm, I'll travel
Well, I might take a boat, or I'll take a plane
I might hitchhike, or jump a railroad train
Your kind of love drives a man insane
So look for me walkin' just a-any old way
Have love
Whoa baby, will travel
Yeah, have love
Ah pretty baby, will travel
Uh-huh, now, I said if you need lovin'
Then mmm-hmm, I'll travel
Whoa-oh, I said if you need lovin'
Then whoa, I'll travel
Whooah
The lyrics of The Sonics's song Have Love Will Travel are about a man who will travel any distance in order to find a woman who can satisfy him. The song is driven by a strong guitar riff and the repetitive and catchy chorus of "Have love, will travel." The singer speaks of his willingness to travel from Maine to Mexico and take any form of transportation - boats, planes, or even hitchhiking- just to find a woman who can love him the way he needs.
The lyrics also highlight the power that love holds over an individual. The singer describes the love he is looking for as something that "drives a man insane." Despite the challenges of finding a woman who can meet his needs, the singer remains determined to keep searching.
There is a certain nostalgia present in the lyrics of the song. The references to hitchhiking and jumping on a railroad train evoke memories of a time when people were more willing to travel and take risks in search of love. The song is a reminder that the search for love can be both exhilarating and exhausting, but ultimately, it is worth the effort.
