Burrito Deluxe - Disciples Of The Truth lyrics

I walked straight off a cornfield up north 1-45 Pa**ed a marriage and a day job into the honkeytonks and dives And I picked up a guitar and strapped it on my back Then I put a pen to paper and fell into the cracks And I'd light up like a neon sign and crank it up to ten Play them sad old hurtin' songs then I'd play them all again And that's how I gave away my misspent youth To kindred fools and disciples of the truth For every mile of endless road there must have been a million songs At the time I thought I'd done 'em right but in the end they turned out wrong Then one morning i woke up with some dues under my belt And for the first time in my life I told the world just how I felt And I'd light up like a neon sign and crank it up to ten Play them sad old hurtin' songs then I'd play them all again And that's how I gave away my misspent youth To kindred fools and disciples of the truth I guess hind sight's twenty-twenty 'cause looking back I can clearly see Everything that I'd been searching for was always right in front of me But it was all about the journey then and I rode that train into the ground The rest is too much to remember now I guess I should have wrote it down And I'd light up like a neon sign and crank it up to ten Play them sad old hurtin' songs then I'd play them all again And that's how I gave away my misspent youth To kindred fools and disciples of the truth
