Well, I don't need a reason that I find your love so pleasin' I know you can carry me back home Been out in the wilderness I could use a little tenderness
I'm sorry babe I was trying to leave the black dog home Oh I'm sorry baby I was tryin' to leave the black dog home Well I'm sorry baby I was tryin'
Kickin' and a-screamin' Only way I learn I'm afraid of my own shadow Not the bridge around the turn Well I lost myself and found myself While you were
Haulin', I'm haulin' Fort Smith to Louisville I'm gonna see my baby See my baby with time to kill Well, I'm flyin', flyin' No one on the road tonight
My baby puts her hairspray on With a lit cigarette in her mouth Takes her fingernail polish off Speedin' down some rural route Got a carburetor so leaned
I'll see my mother again I know I see her everywhere I go Sometimes I see my father too Pourin' over blueprints that he drew He made his way with sweat
Keep an eye on my blind spots There's too many Keep lookin' for some light But there isn't any Was top dead center baby Now my motor's gone soft I used
now, dead or alive Seen enough to kill anyone's soul Keepin' her eyes on the open road Keepin' her eyes on the open road The open road where the hopeless
I cheated on my love I cheated on my taxes Burned bridges Ground axes I stole cars I stole dope Left scars Killed hope What kind of man do you think
Other half of last night's cigar A couple of Pop Tarts Cold cup of coffee There's a fine new start I'm gonna find you If it breaks my heart Tail wind
I'm sorry, babe I was trying to leave the black dog home Oh, I'm sorry, baby I was tryin' to leave the black dog home Well, I'm sorry, baby I was tryin
I'll see my mother again I know I see her everywhere I go Sometimes I see my father too Pourin' over blue prints that he drew He made his way with sweat
Keep an eye on my blind spots There's too many Keep lookin' for some light But there isn't any Was top dead center, baby Now my motor's gone soft I used
I cheated on my love I cheated on my taxes Burned bridges, ground axes I stole cars, I stole dope Left scars, killed hope What kind of man do you think
Kickin' and screamin' Only way I learn I'm afraid of my own shadow Not the bridge around the turn Well, I lost myself and found myself While you were
on the open) Out on the open road (Road) Out on the open road, out on the open road Out on the open road, out on the open road
