Whitehouse Road (OurVinyl Sessions)

It's White House Road

Early in the morning when the sun goes rise

Layin' in the bed with bloodshot eyes

Late in the evening when the sun sinks low

That's about the time my rooster crows

I got women up and down this creek

And keep me going and my engine clean

Run me ragged but I don't fret

'Cause there ain't been one slow me down none yet

Get me drinkin' that moonshine, get me higher than the grocery bill

Take my troubles to the high wall, throw 'em in the river and get your fill

We've been sniffing that cocaine

Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold

Lord, it's a mighty hard livin'

But a damn good feelin' to run these roads

I got people try to tell me, Red

Keep this livin' and you'll wind up dead

Cast your troubles on the Lord of Lords

Or wind up laying on a coolin' board

But I got buddies up White House Road

And keep me strutting when my feet hang low

Rotgut whiskey gonna ease my pain

And all this running's gonna keep me sane

Get me drinkin' that moonshine, get me higher than the grocery bill

Take my troubles to the high wall, throw 'em in the river and get your fill

We've been sniffing that cocaine

Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold

Lord, it's a mighty hard livin'

But a damn good feelin' to run these roads

It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads

When you lay me in the cold hard clay

Won't ya sing them hymns while the banjo plays?

You can tell them ladies that they ought not frown

'Cause there ain't been nothing ever held me down

Lawmen, women or a shallow grave, same ol' blues just a different day

Get me drinkin' that moonshine, get me higher than the grocery bill

Take my troubles to the high wall, throw 'em in the river and get your fill

We've been sniffing that cocaine

Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold

Lord, it's a mighty hard livin'

But a damn good feelin' to run these roads

It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads

It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads
