[Verse 1] 400 Miles from Flagstaff my woman done turn on me She said I really don't like the way we're living and I think I want to be free I said there ain't no gun pointed at your head no chains wrapped around your feet You can jump right here at Victorville or we can get a little something to eat Thought I heard was silence I knew she had an appetite 400 Miles from Flagstaff ain't doing alright [Verse 2] 300 Miles from Flagstaff she said I know you Phil But the way you carry on banging on them drums don't give me much of a thrill You said you was gonna be famous you said you're gonna be a star And now you spend your life driving through the God damn desert Just to play at some God damn bar Honey I beg your pardon you know I never promised you a rainbow 300 Miles from Flagstaff and we're doing alright And we're doing alright we're doing alright Doing alright ah break it down [Verse 3] 200 Miles from Flagstaff she really was bringing me down All up in my head with all the things that she said I guess I really was a clown I said two wind this is my last trip I finally got to hang it up She said spinners and quitters just shook her head but you swore you'd never give up I quit the wheel put my foot down hard stared straight into her eyes 200 Miles from Flagstaff and we're doing alright 100 Miles from Flagstaff I said I think we ought to get us a room Oh but everywhere we looked everything was booked from now until the next full moon And when the morning come we were back on the road We ain't giving up the fight [Outro] 400 Miles from Flagstaff and we're doing alright 400 Miles from Flagstaff hey we're doing alright We're doing alright We're doing alright We're doing alright oh yeah
