[ Featuring the Bonnevilles ]
I left the band back in Lc
I could barely stand but I had bills to pay
I took one boot and one guitar,
Had a hangover and a broken heart
Well me and my baby got into another fight
I know the drill but it feels like the last time
She called me up to tell me I was alone
I slept it off by the side of the road, and
I should have known better, I should have stayed away
She bought me beer and she knew my name and
She sang along to every song
Said Hey Baby Let's Slip cway
To the Motel Mayday
Now Jim Beam is a friend of mine
We park under the bridge and we take our time
On a day off, got nowhere to be
Got nobody looking for me, well
Me and the Lord we're getting into a fight
I hate the road and I swear it's the last time
He says My Son Will You Just Hang On
I always give you everything you want and
You should have known better, you should have stayed away
She bought me beer Lord, she knew my name and
She sang along to every song
Took my hand as the main band played
To the Motel Mayday
Now there's a girl back in Tennessee
Says she's got a baby and it looks like me so I'm
Headed back up the mountain
Gonna send my money to my family and
Some days I think it's all gonna turn out right
Some days I drink til I'm barely alive and
These days my dreams they're all but gone
The road is dark, roll the headlights on and
I should have known better, I should have stayed away
She bought me beer and she knew my name and
She sang along to every song
Said Hey Baby Let's Slip cway
To the Motel Mayday
