I woke up on The Battery on a Charleston Friday night
|
With my dirt-stained Corduroys and Balances crumpled up by my side
|
I said goodbye to my company, then I shook it on down the line
|
Sometimes I get a little lonely, and wish I hadn't left her behind
|
|
(Chorus:)
|
'Cause every highway bears a bright sign, posted on the side of a roaring world
|
And every passerby rolls back again, and in the end, you get what you're looking for
|
So just give me my good friends, And a good hearted woman
|
Just give me some high times to fall back on
|
Sometimes I might need a cool drink and the good Lord to save me
|
Then I will be found, then I will be found
|
|
Ran out of gas on the freeway, 'bout a quarter mile from Abilene
|
That Texas sun just-a hung in the sky, smiling on me
|
A stranger stopped named Casey, said he's a friend of a friend of mine
|
He said, "It shore is a small world." I said, "It suits me just fine."
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Well they put me in a jail cell before a race in Bristol, Tennessee
|
Don't you go to Sully County if you want to be free
|
But there are two ways you can take things, you can make them right or keep them wrong
|
So I kept my mouth closed and played Dominoes 'til the judge sent me home
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
So just give me my good friends
|
And a good hearted woman
|
Just give me some high times to fall back on
|
Sometimes I might need a strong drink
|
And the good Lord to save me
|
Then I will be found, I will be found
|
