He came in like a broken warrior 
Said he'd been travelin' for miles 
Thought the signs couldn't be clearer 
Swept me into his crescent smile

My heart raced faster and harder
My days were happy with love and laughter 
He made me believe in happily ever after
Until his wandering mind traveled farther 

I don't know what hit me harder
Seeing your smile as you held her hand
Or why I wasn't enough oh I wonder
Is this the reality of a travelin' man

Was the words I said not enough
Was the love I gave all too much
Did I stumble more than you cared to catch
Was your love just a limited act
Is this the reality of a travelin' man
Left me standing here and I'm damn mad
Never trust a travelin' man

His tongue had a way with words
Compelled my soul to dance
Into the lullaby of his world
I was lost in an epic trance

My love fell deeper and deeper
My trust believed he was a keeper
He made me believe in happily ever after
Until his wandering eyes traveled farther

I don't know what hit me harder
Seeing your smile as you held her hand
Or why I wasn't enough oh I wonder
Is this the reality of a travelin' man

Was the words I said not enough
Was the love I gave all too much
Did I stumble more than you cared to catch
Was your love just a limited act
Is this the reality of a travelin' man
Left me standing here and I'm damn mad
Never trust a travelin' man

He said I was something special 
That I was his one and only
I should've been more careful 
But I fell into the arms that held me

My heart loved deeper and deeper
I should've seen a little more clearer 
I thought he was my happily ever after
Untill his wandering heart traveled farther 

I don't know what hit me harder
Seeing your smile as you held her hand
Or why I wasn't enough oh I wonder
Is this the reality of a travelin' man

Was the words I said not enough
Was the love I gave all too much
Did I stumble more than you cared to catch
Was your love just a limited act
Is this the reality of a travelin' man
Left me standing here and I'm damn mad
Never trust a travelin' man
Never trust a travelin' man
