Life On The Road - Jerry Jeff Walker

Last year we went to London and Paris Texas

 

We went on a bus tour the great Texas honky tonk tour

 

Here are some snapshots about life on the road

 

Let me tell you 'bout the life I lead

 

It ain't all it's cracked up to be

 

Of what you been told 'bout life on the road

 

Rolling round in a painted bus

 

Just so y'all can look at us

Life on the road

 

You pack your clothes and your shaving kit

 

Some extra socks and those pants that fit

 

Check 'em for holes life on the road

 

Everything you pack is black washed it all upon your back

 

For life on the road

 

Climb on board the bus and grab your bunk

 

One on the bottom is the one you want

 

Less rock and roll as you roll down the road

 

Plug John Wayne in the VCR

 

Let the driver tell you where you are

Life on the road

 

You get a bed and a TV set you get an ashtray for your cigarette

 

You get HBO well that's life on the road

 

Get one down on the bottom floor

 

Hang a do not disturb sign on the door

Life on the road

 

You get clean sheets and a wake-up call

 

Don't go up north in the spring and fall

 

But not when it's cold that's no life on the road

 

Coffee black with pie a la mode

 

That's what you want before the show

 

Life on the road

 

Tonight we're playing that high school gym

 

They're all drunk before I even begin

 

They're hollering "Pissin' in the Wind"

Life on the road

 

The local band opens up for us

 

Now the PA's got a real big buzz

Life on the road

 

The good news is I get to sing my songs

 

The bad news is they all sing along

 

And they're singing wrong notes

 

Ahh life on the road

 

But if I stop it won't be long

 

Before they're singing someone else's song

 

Life on the road
