Cymbal crash, last call, 3 a.m.
Jackson, Mississippi I will see you again
Next stop, Terre Haute, won't be no motel tonight
Well, old 55, well, it's been a long while
Since then, we've both gone a few miles
Seems like every time we meet, you take another piece off of my life
Well, if I'm ragged 'round the edges, and look a little hard
Life ain't easy on this honky-tonk star
Spend my soul in a thousand dives
I've been on this highway since '75
Mamma begged me to put the guitar down
I should'a listened but it's too late now
Left that farm in a beat-up Cadillac
I hit the road and the road hit back
Well, I feelin' with a woman down in Baton Rouge
Sweet around the eyes and farm raised too
And you know, for a moment, I saw babies and dogs
But a dog this old can't learn nothin' new
Lately, you know, it's all I can do
To face another smokey room, sing another broken love song
Well, if I'm ragged 'round the edges, and look a little hard
Life ain't easy on this honky-tonk star
Spend my soul in a thousand dives
I've been on this highway since '75
Mamma begged me to put the guitar down
I should'a listened but it's too late now
Left that farm in a beat-up Cadillac
I hit the road and the road hit back
Well, if I'm ragged 'round the edges, and look a little hard
Life ain't easy on this honky-tonk star
Spend my soul in a thousand dives
I've been on this highway since '75
Mamma begged me to put the guitar down
I should'a listened but it's too late now
Left that farm in a beat-up Cadillac
I hit the road and the road hit back
Though I knew it all but I didn't know jack
I hit the road and the road hit back
Jackson, Mississippi I will see you again
Next stop, Terre Haute, won't be no motel tonight
Well, old 55, well, it's been a long while
Since then, we've both gone a few miles
Seems like every time we meet, you take another piece off of my life
Well, if I'm ragged 'round the edges, and look a little hard
Life ain't easy on this honky-tonk star
Spend my soul in a thousand dives
I've been on this highway since '75
Mamma begged me to put the guitar down
I should'a listened but it's too late now
Left that farm in a beat-up Cadillac
I hit the road and the road hit back
Well, I feelin' with a woman down in Baton Rouge
Sweet around the eyes and farm raised too
And you know, for a moment, I saw babies and dogs
But a dog this old can't learn nothin' new
Lately, you know, it's all I can do
To face another smokey room, sing another broken love song
Well, if I'm ragged 'round the edges, and look a little hard
Life ain't easy on this honky-tonk star
Spend my soul in a thousand dives
I've been on this highway since '75
Mamma begged me to put the guitar down
I should'a listened but it's too late now
Left that farm in a beat-up Cadillac
I hit the road and the road hit back
Well, if I'm ragged 'round the edges, and look a little hard
Life ain't easy on this honky-tonk star
Spend my soul in a thousand dives
I've been on this highway since '75
Mamma begged me to put the guitar down
I should'a listened but it's too late now
Left that farm in a beat-up Cadillac
I hit the road and the road hit back
Though I knew it all but I didn't know jack
I hit the road and the road hit back
