I was coming off the wagon the other night She was headed up to my house I was sad cause I lost a good friend She was mad cause I was high again She said Oh My lord, this ain't the right way to grieve. Oh My Lord, she helped me up off my knees We hit the road on a dusty trail Up 65, to Tennessee Lightning lit up the evening sky Smoky Mountains had us both bone dry She sang Oh My Lord this lonesome road feels so free. Oh Lord, then she told me she loved me We were raised up the same way Southern blood in our veins We say that God has mysterious ways to things we can't explain She said Oh My Lord, well honey just please. Oh My Lord, take a second just breathe Oh My Lord, maybe change'll be good for me Oh My Lord, cause there's something out there I need Oh My Lord

Well, I think I'm getting old, things don't excite me like they used to Money, drugs, and rock n roll, ain't all that they're cracked up to Where did my friends go? They cut their hair, and got a job, so I cut my hair too Where did my friends go? They cut their hair, quit singing songs, now they're miserable So won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go Won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go I hear it's beautiful this time of year Cause I think I'm growing cold Things don't heat me up quite like they used to New cities, women, and open roads, they only make me think about you Tell me where did my friends go? They cut their hair, and got a job, so I got me a haircut too Where did my friends go? They cut their hair, quit singing songs, now they're miserable and I don't wanna be miserable no So won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go Won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go I hear it's beautiful this time of year I think I'm growing cold... I just want the flame to burn like it used to... So won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go, oh Won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go Won't you pick me up and take me down, to that place where we used to go I know it's beautiful this time of year Oh, this time of year Yeah, this time of year Oh, this time of year Won't you take me there

Well, your wandering minds got you late again, and the dogs barking at your door You better turn the lock, don't let him in, cause you got to go and hit the road You know a day spent off is wasted If your feet don't move, you sink You like the way you feel when you walk on the edge and your body's right near the brink Cruise on my brother With the window let down and the wind blowing through your hair Cruise on down to another City where you've got some good people waiting there Move on Well, it's getting harder and harder, just to make a new way these days When everybody's in the same lane and they're moving in the same way But keep your focus on, and keep your eyes ahead Learn to shift when you need to turn I guess it's true what they say in life Boy you got to just live and learn Cruise on my brother With the window let down and the wind blowing through your hair Cruise on down to another City where you've got some good people waiting there Move on now Cruise on my brother With the window let down and the wind blowing through your hair Cruise on down to another City where you've got some good people waiting there Cruise on my brother With the window let down and the wind blowing through your hair Cruise on down to another City where you've got some good people waiting there Waiting there for you

Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night And they blew up his house too Down on the boardwalk they're ready for a fight Gonna see what them racket boys can do And there's trouble busing in from out of state And the DA can't get no relief There's gonna be a rumble on the promenade And the gambling commissioner's hanging on by the skin of his teeth And everything dies, baby that's a fact Maybe everything that dies someday it comes back Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City I got a job and I put my money away But I got the kinda debt no honest man can pay So, I drew out all I had from that central trust And I bought us two tickets down on that co-city bus And everything dies, baby that's a fact Maybe everything that dies someday it comes back Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City Our luck may have died, and our love may grow cold But honey with you forever I'll stay We're going out west where the sand turns to gold Put your stockings on cause it might get cold Everything dies, baby that's a fact Maybe everything that dies someday it comes back Won't you put your makeup on, and fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City I been looking for a job, but it's so hard to find Cause there's winners and there's losers and I'm south of the line And I'm tired of getting caught out on that losing end But I talked to a man last night, gonna do a little favor for him Everything dies, baby that's a fact Maybe everything that dies someday it comes back Won't you put your makeup on, and fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City Meet me tonight in Atlantic City Oh, meet me tonight in Atlantic City Everything dies, honey that's a fact Maybe everything that dies someday it comes back Put your makeup on, and fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City I said everything dies, baby that's a fact Maybe everything that dies someday it comes back Won't you put your makeup on, and fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City Oh, won't you meet me tonight in Atlantic City Oh, honey meet me tonight in Atlantic City

I'm a southern man and I like to ramble A natural born son of a gun and too hard to handle I out-work my pay every single day And come hell or high water I'm gonna find away No, it don't take much to get me by, I was born with the speed I need I'll be fine with some Tennessee shine and some Colorado evergreen I hit the highway running with a five-piece band Four shows a week, three sheets to the wind Two steppin' all night while I sing my song And of you ain't having fun, you're doing it wrong No, it don't take much to get me by, I was born with the speed I need I'll be fine with some Tennessee shine and some Colorado evergreen I'm always gonna have another hill to climb So, I keep my head up and enjoy the ride I soak in the sunshine and the rain And I try to find the good in everything You know, it don't take much to get me by, I was born with the speed I need I'll be fine with some Tennessee shine and some Colorado evergreen I want some Colorado evergreen Get me some Colorado evergreen I want some Colorado evergreen Yeah!

People say I'm not good Crazy as a loon Cause I get stoned in the morning Hell I get drunk every afternoon. Kinda like my old blue tick hound, I like to lay around in the shade I ain't got me no money, but I damn sure got it made I ain't asking nobody for nothing, if I can't get it on my own If you don't like the way that I'm living Go on and leave this long-haired country boy alone I heard the preacher man talking on the TV, putting down on the rock n roll He says he wants me to send a donation, cause he's worried about my soul He told me Jesus walked on the waterwell yes sir I know that's true Sometimes I think that Ol' preacher man might like to do a little walking too And I ain't asking nobody for nothing, if I can't get it on my own If you don't like the way that I'm living Go on and leave this long-haired country boy alone Now I heard a poor girl wants to marry, a rich girl likes to flirt And Rich boys go to college and us poor boys come to work A drunkard wants another drink of wine, and a politician wants a vote I don't want me nothing at all, but I will take another toke, brother I aint asking nobody for nothing, if I can't get it on my own If you don't like the way that I'm living Go on and leave this long-haired country boy alone If you don't like the way that we're living Go on and leave us long-haired country boys alone Go on and leave us alone And I got to run and keep on hiding And I'm bound to keep on riding And I got one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let em catch me no I'm not gonna let em catch me now And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing And that road goes on forever And I got one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let em catch me no I'm not gonna let em catch me now No I'm not gonna let em catch me no Not gonna let em catch me now
