lyrics

OUT ON THE ROAD
Eating hotdogs and frito lays
out on the road for seventeen days
the inside of my car smells like a dirty sweat sock
i don’t got a boss and i don’t have to punch a clock

Drinking more coffee than Juan Valdez
I just drive to where my agent says
I got my name written on the back of my hat
And I never worked a day once I figured out where it’s at

Out on the road
Looking for a sign
I’m looking for someplace I can’t find
Out on the road
Lord I’m losing my mind
In the rearview there’s the troubles that I leave behind

Drive all night and I sleep all day
In the back of my Lincoln is where I stay
When the sun comes up I pull to the side of the road
And when the gig is done I pick up a pile of gold

I seen a thunderstorm on the Texas plains
I seen a lot of people look at me strange
I seen an old man and his hands was all curled up
I seen a waitress pouring some more coffee into my cup
