I moved to Nashville back in '91
|
I was hopin' for heaven but I met the Devil's son
|
David Allan Coe was right 'bout a long hard ride
|
Hell you ought to see the little red truck I drive
|
|
Well I refused to be something I'm not
|
So I didn't make the Music City news a lot
|
But I don't give a damn about that now
|
'Cause some people like the way I sound then
|
|
Things are fixin' to get real good
|
In them honky tonks you know I'm understood
|
I been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and
|
Things are fixin' to get real good
|
|
I made a lot of good friends they came from all around
|
We chased women and dreams while searching for a sound
|
But we sank right down the musical tubes
|
Getting lost in the crowd and drinkin' too much booze
|
|
Lord knows I done a lot of things wrong
|
But I wrote 'em all down in my country songs
|
Sometimes you gotta go to hell and back
|
Just to know where you're at and
|
|
Things are fixin' to get real good
|
In them honky tonks you know I'm understood
|
I been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and
|
Things are fixin' to get real good
|
|
Things are fixin' to get real good
|
In them honky tonks you know I'm understood
|
I been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and
|
Things are fixin' to get real good
|
|
Yeah, I've done my dance on sawdust and hardwood
|
And things are fixin' to get real good,
|
Yeah, they are
|
|
I have done my dance on sawdust and hardwood
|
Things are fixin' to get real good
|
