La skyline, is breaking my back
She was my first love, that I ever had
When I hit Nashville, All the boys in the van
Just plain' the guitar, in a rock n roll band
Singin' It's a lonely road, and the ground, is cold
And the Devil's hands, they got a hold of me
It's a lonely road and the ground is cold
And Tennessee, you drown my soul
When daylight breaks, I'll be behind the wheel
Spanish boots of leather, is how I feel
Too many smokes, I wanna be rollin' stoned
Want too many jokes, I just wanna go home
It's a lonely road, and the ground is cold
And the Devil's hands, they got a hold of me
It's a lonely road and the ground is cold
And Tennessee, you drown my soul
If love is blind, then why does it hide?
Guess the doors of perception, swing wide
Swing low, sweet chariot
Take my weight and bury it
It's a lonely road, and the ground is cold
And the Devil's hands, they got a hold of me
It's a lonely road and the ground is cold
And Tennessee, you drown my soul
