Buddy Cannon - Between Jennings and Jones lyrics

[Verse 1] I left Montgomery on North 65 I was restless and ready to give Nashville a try I rolled into town with a sound of my own Somewhere between Jennings and Jones [Verse 2] Well, the day job I landed felt just like a jail I couldn't seem to break out with that hammer and nails And I spent all my nights in some old honky tonk Somewhere between Jennings and Jones [Chorus] Hangin' out in the bars with the drunks and the stars I found a few good ol' boys just like me Started burnin' our candles both ends and the middle A bunch of roarin' outlaws at high speed [Post-Chorus] And they said that the end of that road I was on Was somewhere between Jennings and Jones [Verse 3] Well, some record executives found me one night I was singin' half-lit, they said it sounded just right, right Put my name on an album but they shelved all my songs Said I was somewhere between Jennings and Jones [Chorus] Hangin' out in the bars with the drunks and the stars And a few good ol' boys just like me Burnin' our candles both ends and the middle A bunch of roaring outlaws at high speed [Post-Chorus] And they said that the end of that road I was on Was somewhere between Jennings and Jones [Outro] Now to find me in a record store won't take you long I'm right there between Jennings and Jones
