Lonesome Highway

Billy was a low-down

Peddled rock and cane

Ridin' that white pony, he

Beat the Memphis train

Took his racket down south

Room 203

Put the card in the door

Bullet set him free

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Mama, she liked drinking

Pins and needles too

Strung out on the couch with

The cocaine blues

Baby girl on the kitchen counter

Cooking a can of beans

While mama's on the corner

To make a little green

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

What's it gonna take to get you back on track

You took that bad road, it's so hard to get back

You gotta ride that lonesome highway by yourself

Yeah, you gotta ride that lonesome highway by yourself

Katie carried all the cash to the depot

Waitin' for that grey dog to take her up to Colorado

Suitcase full of dirty money, she found hiding under the bed

Mama split for Arizona, and daddy shot down dead

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

What's it gonna take to get you back on track

You take that bad road, it's so hard to get back

You gotta ride that lonesome highway by yourself

Yeah, you gotta ride that lonesome highway by yourself

Yes, she's gotta ride that lonesome highway by herself

Yes, she's gotta ride that lonesome highway by herself

Yes, she's gotta ride that lonesome highway by herself

Yes, she's gotta ride that lonesome highway by herself

Yes, she's gotta ride that lonesome highway by herself

Yes, she's gotta ride that lonesome highway by herself
