Whitehouse Road

[Verse 1] Early in the mornin' when the sun does rise Layin' in the bed with bloodshot eyes Late in the evenin' when the sun sinks low That's about time my rooster crows I got women up and down this creek And they keep me goin' and my engine clean Run me ragged but I don't fret 'Cause there ain't been one slow me down, none yet [Chorus] Get me drinkin' that moonshine Get me higher than the grocery bill Take my troubles to the high-wall Throw 'em in the river and get your fill We've been sniffin' that cocaine Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold Lord, it's a mighty hard livin' But a damn good feelin' to run these roads [Verse 2] I got people try to tell me, Red Keep this livin' and you'll wind up dead Cast your troubles on the Lord of lords Or wind up layin' on a coolin' board But I got buddies up White House Road And they keep me strutting when my feet hang low Rotgut whiskey gonna ease my pain An' all this runnin's gonna keep me sane [Chorus] Get me drinkin' that moonshine Get me higher than the grocery bill Take my troubles to the high-wall Throw 'em in the river and get your fill We've been sniffin' that cocaine Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold Lord it's a mighty hard livin' But a damn good feelin' to run these roads It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads [Verse 3] When you lay me in the cold hard clay Won't you sing them hymns while the banjo plays? You can tell them ladies that they ought not frown 'Cause there ain't been nothin' ever held me down [Pre-Chorus] Lawmen, women or a shallow grave Same ol' blues just a different day [Chorus] Get me drinkin' that moonshine Get me higher than the grocery bill Take my troubles to the high-wall Throw 'em in the river and get your fill We've been sniffin' that cocaine Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold Lord it's a mighty hard livin' But a damn good feelin' to run these roads It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads
