LYRICS, THE STORY IN THE MUSIC
Song Lyrics by: Michael Sean Perry
{c: Verse 1:}
I’ve got ten miles to go on a nine mile track
Woke up this mornin’ crossed paths with a black cat
Been waiting for a train with a dog that’s got no name
Skipping town and running out ain’t done at the same pace
I’m a liquor fueled nomad traveling by Blues Caravan
No Good Rounder anyone can see
{c: Verse 2:}
Moonshine lightning strikes a steam engine howler
Rolling through a dust bowl cloud blowing a tumbling desert flower
Had a quart bottle of whiskey laid back with a game of dice
Strange woman on my knee loving this rounder’s life
Her old man in my face sayin “stop pawing on my woman, son!”
Can’t knock him out and and know I can’t run
{c: Verse 3:}
I wish I was a headlight on a Southbound train
Sitting in that Jailhouse calling out
”Boss! you got the wrong man!”
Had a blade on my leg and a Zip Gun by my snake
Shot my way out that shitty joint where I made my last mistake
Got a law man chasing got her old man chasin’ me
And I just dropped a dime on my best friend
I’m a liquor fueled nomad traveling by Blues Caravan
No Good Rounder anyone can see
