From 'Highway Gospels' Disc.

lyrics

Well I left my home at 18 in the fall of ’95, Took highway 38 on down I-35 To the barrooms down on 6th st. where, I’d make my stand Strumming 3 chords on 6 strings in my hand -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well hey there Johnny, ain’t you heard about me I’m a prophet and a singer peddling wisdom for free So saddle up here sally, looks like, you need a friend... And a drink alone is never well spent -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sipped courage from a cup numbered 251, We’d gather at the Showdown to wait for the sun And raise a middle finger and a glass to things to come Well 3 cheers for 10 years being young -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well hey there Johnny, ain’t you heard about me I’ve been around the world playing for less than free So saddle up here Sally, witness sweet glory’s end Cause a drink alone is never well spent -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well when that sun set, I was pushing 35, The wounds of the price left me clinging to life But those 3 chords and that 6 string brought me, back home to you Where tired punk rock singers sing the blues -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well hey there Johnny, ain’t you heard about me I’m as lonely as a guitar with a few busted strings So saddle up here Sally, cause I need a friend And a drink alone is never well spent
