Shaky Town Lyrics - Running On Empty - Jackson Browne

I've witnessed those one night stands 

Must have played in a thousand bands 

But I'm just here tonight, tomorrow I'll be gone 

Seen folks show their blacker sides 

Seen them die just for foolish pride 

And those drivers always ask to hear that same old song 

That's a big ten-four 

From your back door 

Just put that hammer down 

This young man feels 

Those eighteen wheels 

That keep turning 'round to take me down to Shaky Town

I've heard all those hard luck tales 

From all of you U.S. males 

I've heard you tell those lies about the love you've know 

And I've followed those highway signs 

And I've run down those thin white lines 

Like those drivers this old road is all I call my own 

Photos 

That's a big ten-four 

From your back door 

Just put that hammer down 

This young man feels 

Those eighteen wheels 

That keep turning 'round to take me down to Shaky Town
