Lyrics

I was layin' on a riverbed
Out of work and underfed
Had to change my ways or wind up dead
So, I started walkin' to clear my head

I got tackled and shackled in New Orleans
Standin' buck naked on Bourbon Street
Sheriff said son, why you so obscene
Brandy milk punch spilled on my jeans

I've been a thousand miles from no one
I've burned my eyes out on the run
I hung my hat on a crescent moon
I laid my dreams out in the sun
I been back and forth from coast to coast
Folks look at me like they've seen a ghost
But I live the life I love the most
Out there on the road

I was sleepin' in an old caboose
'Til they hauled me off to the calaboose
I lost my money and they took my shoes
I cried and pleaded turn me loose

I got busted up in San Anton
Some old filly done me wrong
She told me she felt all alone
The lights came on, her husbands home

I've been a thousand miles from no one
I've burned my eyes out on the run
I hung my hat on a crescent moon
I laid my dreams out in the sun
Been back and forth from coast to coast
Folks look at me like they've seen a ghost
But I live the life I love the most
Out there on the road
Out there on the road
Out there on the road
