There's two weeks of road ahead now Three days have pa**ed along Well, I'm a long way from California Gasoline, a guitar and this song It's a devil's dream that dies by the dozen Paid my dues in the sweatin' beer and the lights With these highs and lows and everything in the middle Keep my woman, better get my money right Every night, every day, I'm alone There's good and nice and then there's wicked ones Under the shadow, light disappears And there's two cowboys cackling in the corner Close my eyes, gonna check on outta here There's another town will take you in the morning Time will [tease], no waiting for the roads to dry Well, I will leave it all in the rear-view mirror Put the pedal to the metal 'til the early morning light Every night, every day, I'm alone Every night, every day, well I get stoned I'll eat dinner in a room in a dark saloon And that's half my money spent I got plans and schemes and a-hopes and dreams But our dreams don't pay the rent Baby, it a-hurts to be alone Bay, baby, [all] my dreaming home [tonight] Get my family on the phone Come on, woman, bring me home tonight Every night, every day, I'm alone Every night, every day, lord I get stoned Every night, every day, I'm alone
