I lost one too many bits,
stayed up smoking cigarettes,
all tuned up on bottom shelf relief.
Whiskey waltzing around the room,
hope for just to get back soon.
Spirits gently lay me down to sleep.
No one cares to hear a man so damn drunk that he can't stand,
crying about the things that he can't change.
Diesel engine mausoleum,
friends are here but I don't see them,
pray for mercy deliver me from pain.
If I'm going I'm going on my own way,
singing songs and riding this old highway once again.
When
the bus gets back to Greenville,
I'll already be back home.
I don't mind dying but don't want to die alone.
Crossed every line to save a few,
so I could have some more to do.
Keep me from ever really coming down.
So highway carry me away,
I got bills I've got to pay.
Swear I'll give my all to this next town.
Could I die on stage tonight,
just to be in your spotlight,
you could see me let the whiskey drown.
Diesel engine mausoleum,
friends are here but I don't see them,
pray for mercy deliver me from pain.
If I'm going I'm going on my own way,
singing songs and riding this old highway once again.
When the bus gets back to Greenville,
I'll already be back home.
I don't mind dying but don't want to die alone.
I don't mind dying but don't want to die alone.
If I'm going then I'm going on my own way.
Singing songs and riding this old highway once again.
When the bus gets back to Greenville,
I'll already be back home.
I don't mind dying but don't want to die alone.
I don't mind dying but don't want to die alone.
I don't mind dying but don't want to die alone.
