Lyrics
[Intro]
They laughed at me in New York City
Called me a fool in L.A.
I doubt that Nashville saw me coming
Besides the bar folks working late
[Verse 1]
Played every room in the state of Texas
All the ones in California too
So many nights I can't remember
Maybe I've played a song for you
[Verse 2]
Left San Francisco in a hurry
They ran me out of Fort Worth town
Been to the bottom of New Orleans
Them river boats make a lonesome sound
[Verse 3]
Lawmen they caught me in Virginia
No need to tell you what I done
Make sure you get your act together
Before you roll up 81
[Verse 4]
I've seen the other side of Dallas
Trying to climb up to the top
One thing I know about that city
Man, the hustle never stops
[Verse 5]
That's how I got real good at losing
Wasting precious time
Those folks who talk about me
Have never lived no life like mine
[Outro]
They laughed at me in New York City
Called me a fool in L.A.
I doubt that Nashville saw me coming
Besides the bar folks working late
