Cruising down the highway doing 155 Feeling mighty good that I'm still alive Took a beating down in Italy I nearly died in Rome Now the sun is shining on me and the highway is my home Did some things that I ain't proud of and some things I had to do To keep myself from cracking up and see myself through It's a hard life I'm living and I'm living my fill If the diesel don't get ya then the jet fuel will I could have stayed at home and got a damn good job As a suicide broker just another fat slob But the gypsy that keeps burning inside of me Is never satisfied with that drudgery Just one more show another broken guitar I got no mind to be a Rock and Roll star 'Cause the fever's getting hotter and I'm feeling a chill If the diesel don't get ya then the jet fuel will Well I love it and I hate it and I wanna go home
Somebody's gonna get it if they look at me wrong I'm mixed up messed up and ready to k** If the diesel don't get me then the jet fuel will I been sued but never booed and it's the public that I love And I'll stick it up your a** without a latex glove All you businessmen can lick me where the sun don't shine It's the music that I'm living for it's mine all mine So don't tell me what to do and what guitar I should play When the sh** you're making fall apart anyway No respect for your opinion 'cause you don't know Jack Take your 20% and the shirt off my back This living's like a prison with no walls just bars I got no mind to be a Rock and Roll star This fever's getting hotter and I'm feeling a chill If the diesel don't get ya the the jet fuel will Then the jet fuel will Then the jet fuel will
