Well, it's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance
Did you say you work grounds and maintenance
Yeah, well, I know a thing or two about that stuff myself
But I can't go get no job, you see
I'll be gone long before they hire me
I'm gonna get off to the next small town before I get killed
But you can only walk out on your bar tab once in a small town
And there's only so many bridges that you can burn
So I hit the road, my friend
I'm gonna ride it to the highway's end
Or till I find me another place to call my home
I can't help but cause a little trouble
Yeah, I'm sure to find it on the double
Or it'll find me before I've been in this town just an hour or two
It's just the way that I came to this world
Oh, I can't help but chasin' married girls
Yeah, before it's too long to have a shotgun pointed at my head
But you can only walk out on your bar tab once in a small town
And there's only so many bridges that you can burn
So I hit the road, my friend
I'm gonna ride it to the highway's end
Or till I find me another place to call my home
Daddy stitched these holes up in his worn out pair of jeans
Yeah, before he started drinking and cussing all the time
And these worn out hand-me-down sneakers, they were all that I really needed
Just to carry me away from this crazy little old town
But you can only walk out on your bar tab once in a small town
And there's only so many bridges that you can burn
So I hit the road, my friend
I'm gonna ride it to the highway's end
Or till I find me another place to call my home
Well, I've been called a drifter, a drunkard and a sand sifter
Yeah, but no one seems to care about my point of view
Yeah, the world looks great from here
There's many places that I call dear and many faces that I long to see again
But you can only walk out on your bar tab once in a small town
And there's only so many bridges that you can burn
So I hit the road, my friend
I'm gonna ride it to the highway's end
Or till I find me another place to call my home
