I've been driving all week and there ain't no time for sleep
Out here singing these songs on the road
For them worn down drunks in these worn down bars
And damn it if I ain't still broke
Living in a van playing one night stands
Sure makes a man feel lonesome and blue
But I just keep between the lines and I keep on making miles
Heaven knows why I do it, but I do
I'd settle down if I could, but there ain't much else I can do
Cause I can't work no nine to five and say I guess that's just life
Punch in and follow them rules
Yeah I think I'll just sing another song
Have another drink, do it all night long
Do it all again, in some other town
Lord and when I die, I believe I'll settle on down
It's a lot of blood sweat and beer just to get me here
Writing all these songs that I sing
I spent my whole life time just beating on these strings
Pickin' guitar till my fingers bleed
Smoking away my life getting drunk out every night
Dancing holes in the bottoms of my boots
But I just rail a couple lines and I wake up with a smile
Heaven knows how I do it but I do
I'd settle down if I could, but there ain't much else I can do
Cause I can't wake up at six and be in bed by nine
Sit in traffic for an hour or two
Yeah I think I'll just sing another song
Have another drink, do it all night long
Do it all again, in some other town
Lord and when I die, I believe I'll settle on down
I think I'll just sing another song
Have another drink, do it all night long
Do it all again, in some other town
Lord and when I die, yeah when I die
I believe I'll settle on down
