lyrics

Got a an aching in your bones
You must feeling sick suckered and pawned
Highways broken head s a mess of blues
Faceless and nameless no bit left in the booze
It’s a mean old world brother
But you got to drive on
Drive when the soil beneath you groans
When you know not the seed you’ve sown
When it s your worst nightmare and there’s nothing on the tv
except a plastic hero riding shot-gun
Crack babies crying the backseat
It’s a mean old world brother
But you got to drive on
Drive, world gone wrong and ain t had no loving
Drive you must thousand tounques flapping saying nothing
Drive when you loose your wedding ring, when your lover s flirting with your best friend
Devils in the police car your waiting for the world to end
It’s a mean old world brother
But you got to drive on
It’s a mean old world brother
But you got to drive on
When the darkness rolls up your backbone
When you ain t got no home
Nothing but hobo
a veteran of the low road
raven at your window
no call on the telephone
last call everybody gone home
red rivers flow
rape your daughter
and the law ain t on the level
Confidence is crawling
too much shit on your shovel
when your eyes are tired
your hand ain t been hired
either laid off or fired
brain been wired with no desire
ain t no no honky tonking
disesase mobs the innocent
your part of the game
your heavenly horse gone lame
everythings the same
everythings the same
make no difference what they say
eveythings sounds the same
