Telephone Road |
| Rain came down in endless sheets of thunder |
| Lightning bolts split pine trees down to the roots |
| In the shadow of the Astrodome |
| With a hurricane coming on strong |
| We used to hit the streets and go swimming in our birthday suits |
| Skiing in a bar ditch behind a moped |
| 13 stitches on the corner of a sardine can |
| We were dirt poor Houston kids |
| Our whole family living on the skids |
| But we always had a nickel for the coming of the ice cream man |
| Mosquito truck blowing up DDT |
| Barefoot heathens running wild and free |
| Air raid buzzer at a noon-day scream |
| Living in a dream |
| On Telephone Road |
| I used to love them cherry Cokes down at the Prince’s Drive-In |
| And the cheeseburgers tasted so good I like to come untied |
| There’s a Chinaberry tree I remember |
| I used to climb in and out of my window |
| The night I left was on the day before my Grandma died |
| Sawdust spread out on a dance hall floor |
| Jukebox ripping at an all-out roar |
| Barmaid smiling at a 10 cent tip |
| Living is a trip |
| On Telephone Road |
| Magnolia Garden bandstand on the very front row |
| Johnny Cash Carl Perkins and The Killer putting on a show |
| 6 years old and just barely off my daddy’s knee |
| When those rockabilly rebels |
| Sent the Devil running right through me A drive-in movie in the trunk of my car |
| One-eyed sailor in an ice house bar |
| Spit-shine Charlie and ol' Peg-leg Bill |
| Are dressed up fit to kill |
| On Telephone Road |
| Telephone Road, Telephone Road |
| Brabecue and beer on ice |
| A salty watermelon slice |
| At the Little Taste of Paradise |
| On Telephone Road |
