Ragged Old Truck |
| I’m thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up |
| And haulin' myself into town |
| I’m thinkin' 'bout raisin' so much doggone much hell |
| That I’ll die 'fore I live it all down |
| I lay 'round this place 'til I’m blue in the face |
| And I may as well be underground |
| I’m thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up |
| And haulin' myself into town |
| Early this mornin' without any warnin' |
| I took me a look at myself, good God |
| I seen how this married up life I been livin' |
| Was tryin' to choke me to death |
| I laid on the bed with my gun to my head |
| And I nearly 'bout ended it all |
| But I come to myself just before I got killed |
| And I blowed me some holes in the wall |
| I’m thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up… |
| A honky tonk man in a honky tonk band |
| With a honky tonk girl on my arm |
| I may be as ugly as an old mud-rail fence |
| But I’m loaded with hillbilly charm, that’s right |
| It’s my life and no wife of mine’s gonna tell me |
| I can’t go and have me some fun |
| So before that old heffer drives back in from Waco |
| You can bet your rear end I’ll be gone, long gone |
| I’m thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up… |
