The radio is busted, down around my place. Every tool is rusted, down around my place. Creeks and rivers dried up, down around my place. My woman's tears are cried up, down around my place.
Other half of last night's cigar. Couple of Pop-Tarts. Cold cup of coffee, there's a fine new start. I'm gonna find you if it breaks my heart. Tail wind and God willin'.
I cheated on my love. I cheated on my taxes. Burned bridges, ground axes. . I stole cars, I stole dope. Left scars, killed hope. . What kind of man do you think I am, babe?.
Shrunken head and Mardi gras beads. Hanging on a rear view mirror that bleeds. Keeping her eyes on the open road. No telling where that son a bitch goes.
Why did she wear that dress tonight. Why did she bring that stranger. She looks put out in the party lights. Which leaves us all in danger. When she drops her perfumed hankie.
My baby puts her hairspray on. Lit the cigarette in her mouth. Takes her fingernail polish off. Speedin' down some rural route. . Got a carburetor so leaned out.
I'll see my mother again I know. I see her everywhere I go. Sometimes I see my father too. Pourin' over blue prints that he drew. . He made his way with sweat and brains.
Keep an eye on my blind spots. There's too many. Keep lookin' for some light. But there isn't any. . Was top dead center, baby. Now my motor's gone soft.
Well, I jumped so high. Knocked the table over. Thought I saw a ghost. Come out of the clover. She lived in this house. Forty odd years or so. She was buried in the back.
Haulin', I'm haulin'. Fort Smith to Louisville. I'm gonna see my baby. See my baby with time to kill. . Well, I'm flyin', flyin'. No one on the road tonight.
Kickin' and screamin'. Only way I learn. I'm afraid of my own shadow. Not the bridge around the turn. . Well, I lost myself and found myself. While you were kissin' ass.
I'm sorry, babe. I was trying to leave the black dog home. Oh, I'm sorry, baby. I was tryin' to leave the black dog home. Well, I'm sorry, baby. I was tryin' to leave the black dog home.
Well, I don't need a reason that. I find your love so pleasin'. I know you can carry me back home. . Been out in the wilderness. I could use a little tenderness.
