| Wake up every morning, by the break of dawn
|
| Hear that rooster crowing, I feel so all alone
|
| Honey snuggle outside my window, do sparkling oh divine
|
| Little squirrels is a’barking
|
| Like they thought they was a mountain-lion
|
| I get to thinking about the road, all the times I’ve been back again
|
| I was born a child of these muddy roads
|
| I guess I’ll die here lonesome as the wind
|
| Cause all my cover broke down
|
| Playing' live fun yard
|
| I won’t get one, get her
|
| But the road just seems too hard
|
| Someone come round this morning,
|
| Wanting to play in my barn
|
| He was highway 41
|
| Ladies and gentlemen
|
| … Well I use to have me a …
|
| Oh just as pretty as can be All the Jimmy swagger
|
| Left in Nashville Tennessee
|
| So I drink me a whole lot of liquor
|
| And I drink me a whole lot of booze
|
| I’m a midnight country-rambler
|
| And I ain’t got nothing to lose
|
| I ain’t got nothing to lose boys
|
| I wake up beyond the mornings
|
| Laying in this jail
|
| My head will be hurting
|
| I won’t be feeling too well
|
| That old flat-belly sheriff talking out to me
|
| I wanna know how it felt: not being free
|
| I said didn’t matter much,
|
| Didn’t hurt at all
|
| I’ll never be locked up in jail, hell, hell
|
| Someone came around this morning,
|
| Wanting to pay my bond
|
| Playing through the city, you
|
| … the rest heading for you |
