|
| I been thrown out of every damn bar in this old town,
|
| In this old town.
|
| I guess you don’t like the way we like to have our fun,
|
| 'Cause I’m always out there an' I’m on the run,
|
| Yeah, I’m a-runnin' an' a-gunnin' an' a-lookin' for a damn good time.
|
| I done so much trip, I can’t look you in the eye,
|
| You know I’s tryin' to find that ultimate high,
|
| An' I was hangin' with my good friend, an' his name is David Allan Coe.
|
| (Coe, Coe, Coe.)
|
| Well, I was runnin' real hard an' he was runnin' real fast,
|
| An' we got caught-up, up there on the pass:
|
| And we ended up back at this bar on the side of that road.
