A Guitar On My Shoulder And A Pen in My Hand

I'm leaving in the morning on a one-way track

Shooting for the stars and I ain't coming back

Banking on 190 one-night stands

For a room out on the highway and some beer for the band

They told me when they get me, gonna put me in the can

I told them not to bother, I'm a long gone man

Times are getting heavy and I'm gonna make a stand

With a guitar on my shoulder and a pen in my hand

I'm gonna take a while on the open road

Been sitting so long I'm about to blow my load

I need a lonesome highway with nowhere to go

But a shitty little beer joint with a hard wood floor

Every caged bird wants to fly free

There's too many people on these crowded city streets

I'm wanted by the future and I'm haunted by the past

So I'm leaving in the morning and I'm never coming back

They told me when they get me, gonna put me in the can

I told them not to bother, I'm playing in the band

Times are getting heavy and I'm gonna make a stand

With a guitar on my shoulder and a pen in my hand

They told me when they get me, gonna put me in the can

I told them not to bother, I'm playing in the band

Times are getting heavy and I'm gonna make a stand

With a guitar on my shoulder and a pen in my hand
