Life on the Road
INTRO
VERSE
Life on the road ain’t no good life
But it’s the only one I know
I paid the devil in Las Vegas
Slept with his wife in Mexico
Singing my songs for who will listen
Strangers come and strangers go
No need to ask the preacher man where Hell is
I already found it on my own
CHORUS
Well you can take or you can leave me
I remain a prisoner of this show
Not even death could free me
From this life out on the road
VERSE
Living lonely is my anthem
Staying sober is my dream
My only friend calls me the joker
But up on that stage I am a king
A headache and a hangover for breakfast
Some woman in my bed that I don’t know
Just another soul born out of desperation
I’ll be a desperado till I go
CHORUS
Well you can take or you can leave me
I remain a prisoner of this show
Not even death could free me
From this life out on the road
Instrumental
CHORUS
TAG
Yeah, not even death can free me
From this life out on---the road
