| Early in the morning when the sun does rise
|
| Layin' in the bed with bloodshot eyes
|
| Late in the evenin' when the sun sinks low
|
| That’s about time my rooster crows
|
| I got women up and down this creek
|
| And they keep me going and my engine clean
|
| Run me ragged but I don’t fret
|
| 'Cause there ain’t been one slow me down, none yet
|
| Get me drinkin' that moonshine
|
| Get me higher than the grocery bill
|
| Take my troubles to the highwall
|
| Throw 'em in the river and get your fill
|
| We’ve been sniffing that cocaine
|
| Ain’t nothin' better when the wind cuts cold
|
| Lord it’s a mighty hard livin'
|
| But a damn good feelin' to run these roads
|
| I got people try to tell me, Red
|
| Keep this livin' and you’ll wind up dead
|
| Cast your troubles on the Lord of Lord’s
|
| Or wind up laying on a
|
| cooling board
|
| But I got buddies up White House Road
|
| And they keep me strutting when my feet hang low
|
| Rotgut whiskey gonna ease my pain
|
| An' all this runnin’s gonna keep me sane
|
| Get me drinkin' that moonshine
|
| Get me higher than the grocery bill
|
| Take my troubles to the highwall
|
| Throw 'em in the river and get your fill
|
| We’ve been sniffing that cocaine
|
| Ain’t nothin' better when the wind cuts cold
|
| Lord it’s a mighty hard livin'
|
| But a damn good feelin' to run these roads
|
| It’s a damn good feelin' to run these roads
|
| When you lay me in the cold hard clay
|
| Won’t you sing them hymns while the banjo plays?
|
| You can tell them ladies that they ought not frown
|
| 'Cause there ain’t been nothin' ever held me down
|
| Lawmen, women or a shallow grave
|
| Same ol' blues just a different day
|
| Get me drinkin' that moonshine
|
| Get me higher than the grocery bill
|
| Take my troubles to the highwall
|
| Throw 'em in the river and get your fill
|
| We’ve been sniffing that cocaine
|
| Ain’t nothin' better when the wind cuts cold
|
| Lord it’s a mighty hard livin'
|
| But a damn good feelin' to run these roads
|
| It’s a damn good feelin' to run these roads
|
| It’s a damn good feelin' to run these roads |
