Telephone Road (with the Fairfield Four) (Album Version)

Telephone Road (with the Fairfield Four) (Album Version) - Steve Earle/The Fairfield Four

My brother Jimmy my other brother Jack

Went off down to Houston and they never come back

Mama wasn't gonna let her baby go yet

But there ain't nobody hirin' back in Lafeyette

I'm workin' all week for the Texaco check

Sun beatin' down on the back of my neck

Tried to save my money but Jimmy says no

Says he's got a little honey on Telephone Road

Come on come on come on let's go

This ain't Louisianna your mama won't know

Come on come on come on let's go

Everybody's rockin' out on Telephone Road

Telephone Road is ten miles long

Babam babam babam let's go

Fifty car lots and a hundred H***y tonks

Dabam dabam dabam

Jukebox blastin' and the beer bottles ring

Dabam dabam dabam let's go

Jimmy banging on a pinball machine

Dabam dabam dabam

Come on come on come on let's go

This ain't Louisianna

Your mama won't know

Come on come on come on let's go

Everybody's rockin' out on Telephone Road

Mama never told me about nothin' like this

I guess Houston's 'bout a big as a city can get

Sometimes I get lonesome for Lafeyette

Come on come on come on let's go

Someday I'm goin' home but I ain't ready yet

Dabam dabam dabam

Come on come on come on let's go

This ain't Louisianna

Your mama won't know

Come on come on come on let's go

Everybody's rockin' out on Telephone Road

Come on come on come on let's go

This ain't Louisianna

Your mama won't know

Come on come on come on let's go

Everybody's rockin' out on Telephone Road
