Tonight

(album: Red Wings And Six Strings - 2012)

Another truck stop, another can of winter green
Gyspy woman dreaming on the passenger side
And my ol' band is passed out in van
With four hundred and
Fifty more miles to drive tonight

Another passing car another country star
Come across the midnight radio

Don't sound like hank that's probably why is ain't frank
And the reason I'm still a chauffeur to my own show

And I'm running with devil
With my foot down on the pedal
Just trying to stay off the line
And I need the good lord and a whiskey
Momma to call just to say she missed me
To make this a little easier, long hard ride tonight

Another piece of southern poetry
Decides to cross my mind
And it will keep me occupied, keep my eyes open wide
And I'll have another song before I reach the Tennessee line

And I'm running with devil
With my foot down on the pedal
Just trying to stay off the line
And I need the good lord and a whiskey
Momma to call just to say she missed me
To make this a little easier, long hard ride tonight

This old road I'm on
It's dark it's cold and it's long
But I gotta keep driving on
Cause lord know I don't want to die
I don't want to die all alone

And I'm running with devil
With my foot down on the pedal
Just trying to stay off the line
And I need the good lord and a whiskey
Momma to call just to say she missed me
To make this a little easier, long hard ride tonight
