The poundin' of the big bustyres in a hot tarline I gotta play another matinee This old guitar's gettin' worn but not as worn as me but I just keep on singing away You should understand that all us picking Nashville cats are tired And we're thinkin' bout a love of yesterday Well that'll keep us goin' for another show or two and I'll just keep on singing away Played a show last night in Tuscon Arizona the one tonight's about three days away If I ever get back home I bet the kids won't know me Here comes Mr Daddy hear they'll say Spent too many hours with those good ol' friends of mine Could be late for that show we're gonna play
If my head will let me make it I'll make it through the night And I'll just keep on singing away Played a show last night in Tuscon Arizona... I'd give a hundred dollars for a homecooked meal If I make it back I think I'm gonna stay That's what my mind keeps thinking but I know that won't change And I'll just keep on singing away How about that Toronto to Houston to Chicago trip in that order I know gets to be some sorta drag but we keep at it Imagine that seems like you're goin' to bed at 3:45 And gettin' up at quarter to four never changes
