Lyrics:

Got no bags and baggage to slow me down
I'm travelling so fast my feet ain't touching the ground
Travellin' light, Travellin' light,
Well I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight.

No comb and no toothbrush, I've got nothing to haul
I'm carryin' only, a pocket full of dreams, a hand full of love
and they weigh nothing at all

Soon I'm going to see that love look in her eyes
I'm a hoot and a holler away from paradise
Travellin' light, Travellin' light,
I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight.
