lyrics

Well the road to hell is paved mighty well, they got color TVs in all the motels
And the truck stops are clean but they’re built on the bones of
Lonesome guitar pickers like me
I ain’t got time to explain I gotta pack up the band and find the cheapest place where
I can rent a van
So it’s BC powder, it’s coffee on the hour, and frequent calls back home

Woke up this mornin’ with good intentions
Now here I am again, three whiskeys in, headin’ headlong down the long road to hell

So it’s billboards, power cords, check engine lights ignored, figure out what to record
Four bands will split the door
Spilled beer, broken gear, finally becoming clear how much this is gonna take
Well I ain’t got much but I got a hunch if we just keep truckin’ we’re at least as
Good as the next bunch
Keep bendin’ the strings, let the steel guitar ring, keep that train beat on the track

Woke up this mornin’ with good intentions
Now here I am again, three whiskeys in, headin’ headlong down the long road to hell
