Southern Iowa Blues
Well I head out this morning from southern IA....
To Texarkana, for a soul to save.
With 18 wheels, 10 gears to grind
We on the other side of Wayne, with a song to ride.
Hey a song to ride.
A song to ride.
I'm a been there done that kinda guy
Smoked the best of Willie's green for that Cadillac high.
But I'm a strait laced shooter and a gambling man. The outlaw type of a ramblin man. I said
A rambling man.
A ramblin man
Your wife to be was an escort girl.
27 odd years with Waylon and Merle.
She never hesitates to get us done
With you on the road boy, she sure is fun
Sure is fun. She sure is fun.
Sonny Don't get mad if she calls my name
It's all a part of this long haul game.
Half Porto Rican the other half street
Running town to town for another man's seat. I said another man's seat
Another man's seat.
You Betta judge me tight when you hit that stage.
I cut my teeth on Broadway at your age.
Ain't no Ordinary dude to be scared of
Now cast your worries on the Lord above
On the Lord above
Lord above
Now Hoss It's almost time to go. Put me out to graze like David Allen Coe.
I ain't about that slowed down poppy life. You've still got my eleven kids and your bent off wife.
Your bent off wife.
My bent off wife....
