lyrics

I’ve been walking down that long, lonesome road
I’ve been walking down that long, lonesome road
It’s the very same one from that sixties Dylan song
I’ve been walking down that long, lonesome road

I’ve been kicking up the gravel with my boots
The moon she’s shining bright, keeping the truth
That our days are dead and gone, somehow our bodies linger on
I’ve been kicking up the gravel with my boots

My momma says that good things come to those who wait
But I’d rather drink a pint and tempt my fate
See, I was born a dead man’s son, lord knows I like to have my fun
Momma says that good things come to those who wait

Now the Devil’s got a noose around my neck
And he’s trying awfully hard to do his best
But he’s screaming at his son, who took the safety off the gun
The Devil’s got a noose around my neck

So I whispered in his ear, “boy, let me free”
He said, “son, you know that choice ain’t up to me”
“Shoulda fixed your momma’s car, but you were sitting at the bar”
I whispered in his ear “boy, let me free”

I’ve been walking down that long, lonesome road
And this guitar, she just keeps cracking in the cold
So if that means that I can’t play, you’ll have to bury me today
I’ve been walking down that long, lonesome road
