Keep You Spinning
02:52
|
|||
Baby dance with me one and two
I want to make you feel it
Dance with me
The whole night through
If you want a good time bring it
If you want a good time bring it
I've been chasing you for weeks
I ain't slowing down now
I will sweep you off your feet
Keep you spinning round and round
I'll keep you spinning round and round
Baby when I see you move
You make my eyes start shining
And when I hear you call my name
You make me jump right out my skin
You make me jump right out my skin

California
04:36
|

Tomorrow I’m going to California
I’ve got problems to sleep away
I’ve had one too many bad ideas
Now I’ve got no friends to make me stay
Tomorrow I’m going to California
I hear the valleys of wine smell sweet
Someday I’ll forget why I ever left
Until then I’ll stay there and drink
All your friends will disappear
When the darkness turns to light
Make your shadows dance
We’ll all die sometime
Don’t slip away into the night
If only love will keep us breathing
California keeps us dreaming
Tomorrow I’m going to California
Trying all along to quench my thirst
There’s never an excuse to leave the one you love
Unless of course she left you first
All your friends will disappear
When the darkness turns to light
Make your shadows dance
We’ll all die sometime
Don’t slip away into the night
If only love will keep us breathing
California keeps us dreaming
Please hold my hand for a moment
We’ve gone downhill all along and I’ve known it
But I can’t stop the earth from spinning
I won’t stop our hearts from feeling
I’ll remember every name
Of all the people that I’m meeting
I nickname all my companions
Like I’m ten years old again
I will remember this feeling
California is for dreaming
All your friends will disappear
When the darkness turns to light
Make your shadows dance
We’ll all die sometime
Don’t slip away into the night
If only love will keep us breathing
California keeps us dreaming

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me
But let me get to the point
Let's roll another joint
And turn the radio loud
I'm too alone to be proud
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me
People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream
So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me
My old man was born to rock
He's still tryin' to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I've got a little space to fill
So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
And let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I got to go
And you don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels to be me
You don't know how it feels
No you don't know how it feels
No you don't know how it feels to be me

We Never Knew Love
04:40
|
|||
We walked on out the backdoor
Down the hill and out the gate
We never knew love before
But we sure will today
We never knew love before
But we sure will today
Oh little known about the way a young man feels he is of age
The wisdom of experience don't come around in one day
The wisdom of experience don't come around in one day
Lord my heart is crying joy
You got me feeling ten feet high
Oh I hope it never stops
But I dream about your love
Baby I dream about your love
Your love
Love
Love
Your love
Your love
Sweet baby I've been thinking about the way you look at me
I've been longing for you like a bird longs for a tree
I've been longing for you like a bird longs for a tree
Lord my heart is crying joy
You got me feeling ten feet high
Oh I hope it never stops
But I dream about your love
Baby I dream about your love
Your love
Love
Love
Your love
Your love
Lord my heart is crying joy
You got me feeling ten feet high
Oh I hope it never stops
But I dream about your love
Baby I dream about your love
Your love
Love
Love
Your love
Your love

Smoke My Life Away

Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
God I am so tired
So tired of being weak
I have neither strength to stand nor discipline to sleep
I question my labor when I strain my back in vain
And I realize that the future and what I think just ain't the same
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Lord who would really blame me if I smoke my life away
I handle monotony by lengthening my days
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
A skeptic of intention
For who is there to trust
Even nature soon would carry all of us back to the dust
Sure I know my neighbor
Man at least I know his name
And with all these busy schedules being a friend just ain't the same
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Lord who would really blame me if I smoke my life away
I handle monotony by lengthening my days
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Well they tell me if work gets slow I'll be the first to go
Some days I get worried man
Some days I hope so
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Lord who would really blame me if I smoke my life away
I handle monotony by lengthening my days
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah

Take Me Home
03:12
|
|||
Holding down the fortress
We’re waiting on a dream
Well it’s past 4 A.M. now
Lord I wish I could sleep
Lord I wish I could sleep
Sweet relief unlike any I have known
My darling’s promises are calling me back home
She had me pushed against the wall
I said can I get some more of that
And can I take you home
Not just my valentine
Makes me lie awake
No she’s a different kind
In my head but that’s my mistake
My head that’s my mistake
Well it’s hard to close the curtains
On all those smiling faces
No matter how they try nothing will contain us
They’ll push us hard against their walls
We don’t want no more of that
Come on let’s go home
Sweet relief unlike any I have known
My darling’s promises are calling me back home
I’m not strong enough to drink alone
I swear I’ll never leave again
Baby take me home

Moving Pictures
04:09
|
|||
Oh it's the law of nature baby
Can't you see
I got what I need and it sure ain't free
Well I spend my days counting time
Waiting on comfort to arrive
You know some believe we're a moving picture
Others say we're fulfilling scripture
Oh no
I believe in a destination
But I believe in long vacation
Oh well Jesus was a carpenter
He knew the hammer and nail
That's for sure
So that's my religion man
I can relate to working long hours on a summer's day
You know some believe we're a moving picture
Others say we're fulfilling scripture
Oh no
I believe in a destination
But I believe in long vacation
Hold yourself upright
Be the natural state of your bones
Work until your back is strong enough to stand alone
Baby don't you stay and wait on the ringing of the phone
Don't you fear wisdom is both your friend and foe
Oh God I don't want to know
Well when I feel the weight of eternity
I practice better empathy
And when loneliness is killing me
I pay better attention to my company
You know some believe we're a moving picture
Others say we're fulfilling scripture
Oh no
I believe in a destination
But I believe in long vacation
Hold yourself upright
Be the natural state of your bones
Work until your back is strong enough to stand alone
Baby don't stay and wait on the ringing of the phone
Don't you fear wisdom is both your friend and foe
Oh God I don't want to know

All My Working Hours
06:17
|
|||
Lord every day's got me feeling like a steamrolling train
I pushed up this mountain before
So I'll do it again
And it seems I've run out of rail now
I believe it's the end of the track
And I'm tied to this engine behind me
So I'll have to go back
Oh Allie ain't I so full of selfish greed
I never took your picture
But I wished time would freeze
And I know the world ain't all two colors
But you got me still here green and blue
And I never was much of a fool
But I was a fool for you
Well the first night I was certain
By the second I sold my soul
And I can't help but thinking
About things like growing old
Oh it may be such a long time
Heartache wrestles with my good sense
I'll spend all my working hours to see you again
I'll spend all my working hours to see you again
Jesus I've been learning that I sure don't deserve what I ask
And if not for the love of a woman
Devils would still hold me fast
But I'm tired now
I'm still haunted by all things that I've done just to win
I've been captivated by angels
Lord I've been weighed down by sin
Well the first night I was certain
By the second lord I sold my soul
And I can't help but thinking
About things like growing old
Oh it may be such a long time
Heartache wrestles with my good sense
I'll spend all my working hours to see you again
I'll spend all my working hours to see you again
Well the first night I was certain
By the second lord I sold my soul
And I can't help but thinking
About me and you growing old
Oh it may be such a long time
Heartache wrestles with my good sense
I'll spend all my working hours to see you again
I'll spend all my working hours to see you again
I'll spend all my working hours to see you again

Honest Man
04:48
|
|||
Well I was born a bad man
I've been running since I was ten
I was caught once stealing candy
And I swore it would never happen again
I swore it would never happen again
I can run all around this town
The fruit of my labor is gold
Harvesting the coin from the pocket
So I won't have to work when I'm old
I won’t have to work when I’m old
I say oh
I tell them catch me once and you're good
You'll never do it again lord
Preacher said that Jesus Christ
Will rescue me from all my sin
I say catch me once and you're good
Oh you'll never do it again
Preacher said that Jesus Christ
Will rescue me from all my sin
So lord I’m gonna be an honest man
Oh yes I am
Gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be an honest man
Lord I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be an honest man
I was caught on the bad end
Of a friendly trade gone wrong
With too many watches in my pockets
I got no time to get back home
No time to get back home
But I can escape from the best
Oh lord no jail holds me down
Even a young man can grow tired
Of always running around
Always running around
Oh
I tell them catch me once and you're good
You'll never do it again lord
Preacher said that Jesus Christ
Will rescue me from all my sin
I say catch me once and you're good
Oh you'll never do it again
Preacher said that Jesus Christ
Will rescue me from all my sin
So lord I’m gonna be an honest man
Oh yes I am
Gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be an honest man
Lord I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be an honest man
Help me Lord I'm tired
I've got a woman who wants my name
Heaven knows I love her the most
So I'm going to be an honest man
Cause she thinks I'm an honest man
Finally they set me free
I'm running to get back home
Cause the woman I've got waiting on me
Is sweeter than silver and gold
Sweeter than silver and gold

Waste My Time
03:12
|
|||
Lord I believe in two things
Freedom to stay
Freedom to leave
Uncertainty ain't my disease
I got what I want
I got what you need
She's my dark side
My selfish greed
A spider weaving web through my dreams
I took the shots
I paid the fee
I took the recommended dose
Now I chase the breeze
Hey hey momma don't waste my time
I gotta keep moving while the sun still shines
Keep shaking me down
Shaking me down
Shaking me down
Shaking me down
Still I stay but I'm holding my breath
This woman I love scares me to death
She's hanging a lead weight from my neck
Hanging a lead weight from my neck
Fuel my fire
Ignite my hate
I had a chance to leave
And I took it too late
She takes my money
Takes my house
Takes everything
Now I'm gonna drive before she takes my keys
Hey hey momma don't waste my time
I gotta keep moving while the sun still shines
Keep shaking me down
Shaking me down
Shaking me down
Shaking me down
Still I stay but I'm holding my breath
This woman I love scares me to death
She's hanging a lead weight from my neck
Hanging a lead weight from my neck
She say come on to me
Come on to me
Come on to me
Come on to me
Come on to me
Come on to me
Come on to me
Come on to me
I gotta leave
I gotta leave
I gotta leave
I gotta leave
I gotta leave
I gotta leave
I gotta leave
I gotta leave
Hey hey momma don't waste my time
I gotta keep moving while the sun still shines
Keep shaking me down
Shaking me down
Shaking me down
Shaking me down
Still I stay but I'm holding my breath
This woman I love scares me to death
She's hanging a lead weight from my neck
Hanging a lead weight from my neck
She say won't you go
Oh come on
Baby come on
Come on
Come on
Won't you go

Celia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Celia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home
Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone's taken my place
Celia you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home
Jubilation,
She loves me again,
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing
Jubilation,
She loves me again,
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing

Drink Till We Dance
04:44
|

Ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Oh well I've adored girls who want nothing of me
And lord I try to tell them
But they don't see
I've got nothing to give except the love in my heart
And a poor boy's love never goes very far
Ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Oh well my bank holds less than the money I owe
But I keep myself on that narrow road
Man if I could afford it
I'd always play for free
The rich man and his cars ain't got nothing on me
Come on put me in a trance
Oh let's drink till we dance
I want a saltier taste of your sweet romance
We ain't nothing but bodies
All of heaven's in reach
Let's drink till we dance
I want you closer to me
Let's drink till we dance
Ain't gotta pay for a thing
Ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Oh well when I was younger I said
Man I'm never slowing down
And soon enough my friends didn't want me around
Don't you know freedom is abrasive
To those who ain't free
And the curse of all your freedom is to be lonely
Come on put me in a trance
Oh let's drink till we dance
I want a saltier taste of your sweet romance
We ain't nothing but bodies
All of heaven's in reach
Let's drink till we dance
I want you closer to me
Let's drink till we dance
Ain't gotta pay for a thing
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Oh put me in a trance
Oh let's drink till we dance
I want a saltier taste of your sweet romance
We ain't nothing but bodies
All of heaven's in reach
Let's drink till we dance
I want you closer to me
Let's drink till we dance
Ain't gotta pay for a thing
One
Two
Three
Momma put me in a trance
Oh let's drink till we dance
I want a saltier taste of your sweet romance
We ain't nothing but bodies
All of heaven's in reach
Let's drink till we dance
I want you closer to me
Let's drink till we dance
Ain't gotta pay for a thing

Fear
04:33
|
|||
Well I'm not the only one
Who takes the names of traitors
But I'll still sit on my own side
While the rest of the world floats away
Oh me oh my just how bad can it be
Isn't the poor man still eating for free
Why can't he stand on his own two feet
Try a little harder and then
You'll see it's all uphill
And it's not just the truth they kill
But lord when the T.V. is telling you
Take all these pills
You let yourself live in fear
If something ain't right
Cover your eyes and ears
Well people will keep bleeding money
Till the money satisfies the greed
Of all the banks that owned you from the start
Well all this ignorance creates a need
And oh me oh my all the dreams you'd become
Are ruined by the internet socialite scum
And don't give up yet
There's a war to be won
But we will all learn the hard way
We know it's all uphill
And it's not just the truth they kill
But lord when the T.V. is telling you
Take all these pills
You let yourself live in fear
If something ain't right
Cover your eyes and ears
Oh me oh my
Just what have we become
The sins of our fathers would blot out the sun
We're so slow to reason
So quick to the gun
And we'll curse our brothers again
We say it's all uphill
And it's not just the truth they kill
But lord when the T.V. is telling you
Take all these pills
You let yourself live in fear
If something ain't right
Cover your eyes and ears

I Do
03:16
|

I got a girl who lives far away
She holds me like a sunny day
When I'm grasping for a feeling
Oh lord well she brings me easy around to reason
And I'll wait months to see the light
It's a tunnel and I'm almost through
But I know she knows what I need to be strong and bold and true
Baby I ain't always smart
I know what I got in you
And if you don't know I love you by now
I do
I do
I do
I got a girl who don't want my name
And I know that may never change
But when I'm not home till early morning
Oh lord she brings me into bed without warning
And I'll wait months to see the light
It's a tunnel and I'm almost through
But I know she knows what I need to be strong and bold and true
Baby I ain't always smart
I know what I got in you
And if you don't know I love you by now
I do
I do
I do
I'll wait months to see the light
It's a tunnel and I'm almost through
But I know she knows what I need to be strong and bold and true
Baby I ain't always smart
I know what I got in you
And if you don't know I love you by now
I do
I do
I do
I do
I do
Oh if you don't know I love you now momma
I do
I do

Get Along All Right
03:05
|
|||
I ain’t no seven eleven
I ain’t open all the time
I rather dislike situations when I can’t unwind
I love wine more than my lovers
But I don’t drink it every night
I still ain’t got no woman
So I get along all right
Go sacrifice your day
Forfeit tomorrow’s pay
Drink all of your money down
If it makes you feel good
There’s a time for heavy drinking
There’s a time for getting high
And when there’s work to be done
Baby I get to bed on time
I don’t wake up for roses
I don’t wake up for the news
I don’t wake up next to anyone
I don’t soberly choose
I’m up before the sunrise
I’ve got coffee on my breath
But if I could live without sleep
Then I would not ever rest
Go sacrifice your day
Forfeit tomorrow’s pay
Drink all of your money down
If it makes you feel good
There’s a time for heavy drinking
There’s a time for getting high
And when there’s work to be done
Baby I get to bed on time
Well all these working people tell you
That you’ve gotta choose
Between passion and a paycheck
Oh my friend you’re born to lose
I believe you can do anything
With time and elbow grease
Throw away your TVs
Moderate your drinks
Go sacrifice your day
Forfeit tomorrow’s pay
Drink all of your money down
If it makes you feel good
There’s a time for heavy drinking
There’s a time for getting high
And when there’s work to be done
Baby I get to bed on time
There's a time for heavy drinking
There's a time for getting high
And when there's work to be done
Baby I get to bed on time
Oh when there's work to be done
Baby I get to bed on time
Oh when there's work to be done
No I don't bitch or whine
When there's work to be done
Momma I get to bed on time

Home in a pen
Corn to feed him on
All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone
Feed him when I'm gone lord

To sow a little cain
Raise a barrel of sorghum

All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone
Feed him when I'm gone lord
Feed him when I'm gone

Feed him when I'm gone lord

Stuck between the fight or flight
Don’t give no care for the weather
Baby caught a chill now my head’s on fire
Baby caught a chill now my head’s on fire
Come on jump in the river
Drink whiskey out the bottle
Momma take me out to dinner
Show me how you monkey around
Show me how you monkey around
Well ah ah ah ah ah
Trouble’s in me like a parasite
I’m afraid of what will happen if it leads me to fight
I know what I’m doing ain’t right
I get lit up like a rocket on the fourth of July
It’s in me like a parasite
I’m afraid of what will happen if it leads me to fight
I know what I’m doing ain’t right
I get lit up like a rocket on the fourth of July
Oh yeah
Momma’s got me oh

Well god I want to be a sinner
But sometimes I want to be found
Well I guess I just want to be a winner
Lord I want to dance when the sun goes down
I want to dance when the sun goes down
I want to dance when the sun goes down
Well ah ah ah ah ah
Trouble’s in me like a parasite
I’m afraid of what will happen if it leads me to fight
I know what I’m doing ain’t right
I get lit up like a rocket on the fourth of July
It’s in me like a parasite
I’m afraid of what will happen if it leads me to fight
I know what I’m doing ain’t right
I get lit up like a rocket on the fourth of July
Oh yeah
Momma’s got me oh
Come on baby yeah
Show me how you monkey around
Show me how you monkey around
Well ah ah ah ah ah
Just reach for those stars in the sky
Baby you could shine
Smoke a little this
Drink a little that
Dance it all away
Just reach for those stars in the sky
Baby you could shine
Smoke a little this
Drink a little that
Dance it all away
Well ah ah ah ah ah
Trouble’s in me like a parasite
I’m afraid of what will happen if it leads me to fight
I know what I’m doing ain’t right
I get lit up like a rocket on the fourth of July
It’s in me like a parasite
I’m afraid of what will happen if it leads me to fight
I know what I’m doing ain’t right
I get lit up like a rocket on the fourth of July

Baby
04:11
|

Oh
Now the time has come
And we've got a little older
All those same dark hang outs
And places we were born
I am so damn tired
Of all this weight upon my shoulders
Baby you're the only one I want
I said baby you're the only one I want
Like a midnight fire
That in the morning smolders
Pushing back against
All those demons that we taunt
I am so damn tired
Of all this weight upon my shoulders
Baby, you're the only one I want
I said baby you're the only one I want
I said baby, baby, baby
You're the only one I want
Well your hair is like the sun
And it warms me when it's colder
Calling me back home
Every time that I got lost
I am so damn tired
Of all this weight upon my shoulders
Baby, you're the only one I want
I said baby, you're the only one I want
I said baby, baby, baby
You're the only one I want

I Can't Wait to See You
03:22
|

Baby don't you see
That I'm holding true
You know I spend my days
Just dreaming about you
Momma do you tell me
Or do I waste my time
I scheming up a way
I'm gonna make you mine
I can't wait to see you little darling
Tomorrow can't come soon enough
Why don't we get high
On the seeds of love we're sowing
Baby when I'm empy
You fill my cup
Oh I'm all in now
All without a doubt
My desire's on my shoulder
And it's getting louder
You know my intent
I'll show you what I mean
I got a ring in my pocket
Got a heart on my sleeve
I can't wait to see you little darling
Tomorrow can't come soon enough
Why don't we get high
On the seeds of love we're sowing
Baby when I'm empy
You fill my cup
I can't wait to see you little darling
Tomorrow can't come soon enough
Why don't we get high
On the seeds of love we're sowing
Baby when I'm empy
You fill my cup

Angeline the baker
Angeline is gone
She left me here to weep a tear
And beat on the old jawbone
Angeline the baker
Angeline I know

Well I married me a wife
She gave me trouble all my life
Left me out in the cold rain and snow
Rain and snow
Left me out in the cold rain and snow
She came down the stairs
Holding back her long yellow hair
Yeah her cheeks were as red as a rose
As a rose
Yeah her cheeks were as red as a rose
I've done all I can do
To try and get home to you
No I ain't gonna be treated this way
This way
No I ain't gonna be treated this way
Well she came in the room
Met with a fiery doom
No I ain't gonna be treated this way
This way
No I ain't gonna be treated this way

Whiskey

I ran from the law
I'll pack my things and leave tomorrow
I got a couple ornery horses
They're gonna get me to Chicago
Lord there's whiskey in my bottle
I've been rolling in the mud
And I answer to nobody but God
Well I met a bad girl
She kept me hanging on tomorrow
Lord I died in her arms every night
Now all I know is sorrow
I said baby unload your gun
I see my welcome has expired
The good die young and the fast live to retire
Live or die I'm to blame
Live or die I'm worth the same
Oh hey hey baby call my name
I know you don't let yourself feel no pain
Lord I keep my hands out of bad men's pockets
And I keep my heart from leading me astray
See I don't wanna swing from a tree
I don't wanna burn up in a fire
I just want my lungs full of desire
Live or die I'm to blame
Live or die I'm worth the same
Oh hey hey baby call my name
I know you don't let yourself feel no pain
Well I ran from the law
I'll pack my things and leave tomorrow
I still got these same old horses
They got me to Chicago
There's still whiskey in my bottle
I'm still rolling in the mud
And I answer to nobody but God
Live or die I'm to blame
Live or die I'm worth the same
Oh hey hey baby call my name
I know you don't let yourself feel no pain

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey
Whiskey, I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey
I surely will die
If the ocean was whiskey
And I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and never come up
I'd dive to the bottom and never come up
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey
Whiskey, I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey
I surely will die
I live on clinch mountain
I wander alone
I'm drunk as the devil
Leave me alone
I'm drunk as the devil
Leave me alone
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey
Whiskey, I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey
I surely will die
I'll eat when I'm hungry
I'll drink when I'm dry
If a tree don't fall on me
I'll live till I die
If a tree don't fall on me
If a tree don't fall on me
I'll live till I die
Hey yeah
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey
Whiskey, I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey
I surely will die
If I don't get rye whiskey
If I don't get rye whiskey
I surely will die

Freeborn Man
06:16

I was born in the south land
Some twenty-odd years ago
Left home for the first time
I was only four years old
I'm a freeborn man
My home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track
Picked some oranges down in Florida
Picked some cotton in Alabama
Picked walnuts in Oregon
I pick a guitar when I can
I'm a freeborn man
My home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track
Got a girl in Cincinatti
Got another in San Antone
Always loved the girl next door
But any place is home
I'm a freeborn man
My home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of backroads
Every mile of railroad track
I got myself a guitar
I carry it in an old tote sack
Hocked it about two hundred times
But I always got it back
I'm a freeborn man
My home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track
I was born in the south land
Some twenty-odd years ago
Left home for the first time
I was only four years old
I'm a freeborn man
My home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track

The Roamer

I've been roaming far and wide
Got my kicks on the countryside
My feet are tired of this heavy load
Well there's one girl on my mind
She works me every time
Her brown eyes make my body roll
Well she's got my child
I keep moving down the road
Road the train in Mississippi
Shined some shoes in Tennessee
Tried my hand as a gambling man
Now I walk in my bare feet
I got my hat up in the city
With a girl named Jeanine.
Where she got that body
I don't know and I can't see
She took all my money
I keep moving down the road
Spent three days in Amarillo
Paved the streets in San Antone
My knees are weak from walking lord
All on my own
So I hitchhiked up to Arkansas
Worked my over to Wichita
The faces I saw I did not know
Well they probably didn't want me there either no
So I keep moving down the road
