Early in the morning when the sun does rise
Laying in the bed with blood shot eyes
Late in the evening when the sun sinks low
Well that's about time my rooster crows
I've got women up and down this creek
Where to keep me going and my engine clean
Run me ragged but I don't fret
Cause there ain't been nothing slow me down just yet
Get me drinking that moonshine
Get me higher than a grocery bill
Take my troubles to the high wall
Throw them in the river and get your fill
We been sniffing that c**aine
And no better feeling when the wind cuts cold
Lord its mighty hard living
But a damn good feeling to run these roads
I got people trying to tell me Red
Keep this living and you wind up dead
Cast your troubles on the lord of lords
Wind up lying on the cooling board
But I got buddies up at white house road
They keep me strutting when my feet hang low
Rot gut whiskey gonna ease my pain
And all this running gonna keep me sane
Get me drinking that moonshine
Get me higher than a grocery bill
Take my troubles to the high wall
Throw them in the river and get your fill
We been sniffing that c**aine
And no better feeling when the wind cuts cold
Lord its mighty hard living
But a damn good feeling to run these roads
Damn good feeling to run these roads
When they lay me in the cold hard clay
Singing them hymns while the banjo plays
Tell those ladies that they ought not frown
Cause there ain't been nothing ever held me down
Well the lawman, women or a shallow grave
Same old blues just a different day
Get me drinking that moonshine
Get me higher than a grocery bill
Take my troubles to the high wall
Throw them in the river and get your fill
We been sniffing that c**aine
And no better feeling when the wind cuts cold
Lord its mighty hard living
But a damn good feeling to run these roads
Damn good feeling to run these roads
Damn good feeling to run these roads
Damn good feeling to run these roads
