I left the band back in L.A
I could barely stand but I had bills to pay
I took one boot and one guitar
I had a hang over and a broken heart
Well, me and my baby got into another fight
I know the drill but it feels like the last time
She called me up to tell me I was alone
I slept it off by the side of the ride and
I should have known better
I should have stayed away
She bought me beer and she knew my name and
She sang along to every song
Said hey baby, let's slip away
To the motеl mayday
Now Jim (?)'s a friend of mine
We park undеr the bridge and we take our time
On a day off got nowhere to be
Got nobody looking for me
Well, me and the lord are getting into a fight
I hate the road and I swear it's the last time
He said, "My son, will you just hang on?
I only give you everything that you want"
And, you should have known better
You should have stayed away
She bought me beer lord, she knew my name
She sang along to every song
Took my hand as the main band played
To the motel mayday
Now how does he go back to Tennessee
Says she's got a baby and it looks like me
So I'm going back up a mountain
Gonna send my money to my family, yeah
Some days I think it's all gonna turn out right
Some days I drink 'til I'm barely alive
And, these days my dreams, they're all but gone
The road is dark (?) the headlights on
I should have known better
I should have stayed away
She bought me beer and she knew my name and
She sang along to every song
Said hey baby, let's slip away
To the motel mayday
