Roadsick Blues

You can stop smoking dope Give the booze a rest But there ain't no room for a loadshift You can stop snorting coke Use the speed a little les But there ain't no rehab for the roadsick I was on the road just the other day I started looking at my life Well i've got some guitars and a beat up truck But i still ain't got no wife And i asked myself what would i do If i wanted settle down Maybe find me house down by the sea But not too far out of town Coming back from the gig just the other night I started to think again Though i was heading home to an empty bed And no-one remebers my name I asked myself is this really the way Could i really stop if i tried Then i thought no, it just ain't no go I could only give up when i died You can stop smoking dope Give the booze a rest But there ain't no room for a loadshift You can stop snorting coke Use the speed a little les But there ain't no rehab for the roadsick I get tired of the road just like anyone would But i don't think it'll give me up Though my bones ache from traveling And i cough in my coffee Hell, pass me another cup When it's all said and done, there is only the one We agreed as we walked back to the van Cause sometimes you can take the man off the road But you can't take the road off the man You can stop smoking dope Give the booze a rest But there ain't no room for a loadshift You can stop snorting coke Use the speed a little les But there ain't no rehab for the roadsick 3x
