Lyrics

You’re out travelin’ with all your lies
My cargo’s heavy
In the suitcase of your mind
Oh and baby, I’ve been drinkin’
Thinkin’ ‘bout our time
All the time
It has its way of stealin’ mine
I’m just packin’ up my skin
Cause I know it’s wrinklin’
I was feeling pretty good
When I met Miss Hollywood
She was broken
She was bent
I was damaged goods
When I fell across the floor
My knees were sore the way it went
She said, “what is it you do?”
I said, “I think I’m doing it.”
I’m a road rat boy
Headin’ south on 85
Or was it 84?
I’m a road rat boy
I’m a Hangtown
Strings out of tune and out of songs
Long before the morning comes
I will be gone gone gone
Oh and baby, don’t cry
You’re out looking for a life
That’ll tie you right down
Buy a house buy a car
Make some kids
And hide all my cigars
Well mine’s clipped
And chewed on
I’ll find a place to find myself gone
Heavy hearts don’t last too long ‘round here
In the darkness of the night
I’m finding little bits of light
I was feeling pretty low
California, she don’t warn ya
I was walking through her trees
Heard you talkin’ clear to me
Saw the neon glowin’ strong
And I forgotten what you told me
It’s been a while since I heard your name
Never bad to feel a little shame
I’m a road rat boy
Headin’ south on 85
Or was it 84?
I’m a road rat boy
I’m a Hangtown
Strings out of tune
I’m out of songs
Long before the morning comes
I will be gone gone gone
