I've been drivin' down this road too long
Feelin that west Texas sun
Burnin', it's burnin up my skin
Goin to open for that big name band
With this ole guitar and my two hands
Gotta make all them pretty girls smile
Once I've sung all my songs
To a crowd of two thousand
I gotta sleep in that ole midland motel
The guy in the room right next to me
Had a gram of mid grade weed
That's the only reason I could sleep in that roach coach
I've been drivin' down this road too long
Feelin that west Texas sun
Burnin', it's burnin up my skin
Goin to open for that big name band
With this ole guitar and my two hands
Gotta make all them pretty girls smile
That next day we went and played
At a bar across the interstate
That 2000 turned into 28
Empty bars and old guitars
Thank god I got a full tip jar
It's back on that road tomorrow morn
I've been drivin' down this road too long
Feelin that west Texas sun
Burnin', it's burnin up my skin
Goin to open for that big name band
With this ole guitar and my two hands
Gotta make all them pretty girls smile
