Where The Blacktop Ends

(album: Friday Night In Dixie - 2002)

Call me computer illiterate
Redneck dot com on the internet
I don't need it if I can't find it in my head
Just give me my pickup and a dip of skoal
A blanket, my baby and a fishing hole
And head on after where life begins
Down where the black top ends

Look in the rear view, smile away flying by
Watch it all disappear as the dust flies
Rip it off and never look back again

I can't think of any place I'd rather be
Middle of nowhere with her beside me
Snuggle up by the fire on the river bed
Down where the black top ends

We've been pounding the pavement
And saving up enough for a down payment
On a little house in the woods starting over again
Down where the black top ends

Now some say we're out of our minds
Well, I'd say that they're right and that is why we
Don't need a telephone, fax or a time clock
We just paint our last name on the mailbox
If you need us feel free to just drop on in

When you need to get a way, you're welcome anytime
Leave your hustle and your bustle on the other side
Get back at the world ride holiday inn
Down where the black top ends

We've been pounding the pavement
And saving up enough for a down payment
On a little house in the woods starting over again
Down where the black top ends

Yeah, we're down where the black top ends
Where life begins
Down where the black top ends
