The Battery Lyrics - Lost Trailers

I woke up on The Battery on a Charleston Friday night 

With my dirt-stained Corduroys and Balances crumpled up by my side 

I said goodbye to my company, then I shook it on down the line 

Sometimes I get a little lonely, and wish I hadn't left her behind 

(Chorus:) 

'Cause every highway bears a bright sign, posted on the side of a roaring world 

And every passerby rolls back again, and in the end, you get what you're looking for 

So just give me my good friends, And a good hearted woman 

Just give me some high times to fall back on 

Sometimes I might need a cool drink and the good Lord to save me 

Then I will be found, then I will be found 

Ran out of gas on the freeway, 'bout a quarter mile from Abilene 

That Texas sun just-a hung in the sky, smiling on me 

A stranger stopped named Casey, said he's a friend of a friend of mine 

He said, "It shore is a small world." I said, "It suits me just fine." 

(Chorus) 

Well they put me in a jail cell before a race in Bristol, Tennessee 

Don't you go to Sully County if you want to be free 

But there are two ways you can take things, you can make them right or keep them wrong 

So I kept my mouth closed and played Dominoes 'til the judge sent me home 

(Chorus) 

So just give me my good friends 

And a good hearted woman 

Just give me some high times to fall back on 

Sometimes I might need a strong drink 

And the good Lord to save me 

Then I will be found, I will be found
