Wearin' holes in an old man's shoes
there just ain't much left to lose
I'm so tired of bein' a stranger
I wanna put the brakes on this old train
and cry through all these blues
It's like the blind leading the blind
Where have all the reasons
to keep on moving gone again?
I made a deal with the devil's dog, baby
She showed me how to walk the law then,
Showed her how to be my dog
just to find my way back home
Last night I called my mom
Don't they know they better let me be
Don't I know I got a list of sins
Of nearly five miles long
You know the road won't let me be
But I can't stay gone, no
True love's just a -waitin' for me
About the way that she made me see
Well, in case they gone too long
I'm so tired of this old highway
grinding gears done left me sideways
I've been drunk in a motel room
down on the floor just to cry the blues
I'm so tired of bein' a stranger
I wanna put the brakes on this old train
and cry through all day blue
It's like a blind eatin' the blind
Where are all the reasons
to keep on movin' on again?
She showed me how to walk the log and,
Showed her how to be my dog,
just to find my way back home
Last night I called my mama
Don't they know they better let me be
Don't I know I got a list of sins
of nearly five miles long
You know the road won't let me be,
I got true love just a -waitin' for me
About the way that she made me see
but I can't stay gone too long
but I can't stay gone too long
but I can't stay gone too long
but I can't stay gone too long you
