I wanna get on the road to Texas Been pulling that heavy load I been dreaming of playin them bars and honky tonk shows Got a band thats putting in the time And lord we're sounding mighty fine Tight as hell gonna shake you to the bones Got a boss thats workin me rain or shine Oh wait, guess I left it behind Such a crime That makes me wanna pull out both of my eyes Anymore only thing I wanna do Is play all night with the boys till two And maybe make enough to get a room Call me crazy it seems lately I ain't sleeping very well And its a miracle I ain't yet up in jail I'm good with paying dues But it seems waiting is a crime So we're running hard as hell for that Texas line I'm picking up a job on Monday Can't handle being this damn broke But after a couple checks I'm cashing out That road is calling out my name If I stay here I'll go insane And there won't be anyone but me to blame Call me crazy it seems lately I ain't sleeping very well And its a miracle I ain't yet up in jail I'm good with paying dues But it seems waiting is a crime So we're running hard as hell for that Texas line I wanna get on the road to Texas Pulling the heavy load I've been dreaming of playing them bars and honky tonk shows Got a band thats putting in the time And lord their sounding mighty fine And we're running hard as hell for that Texas line Ya we're running hard as hell for that Texas line
