Oh, mama, I've been talkin' to those western stars

They give me comfort at night, right lyin' in the back of the car

An' I can see your face in the place that I go when I'm there

Me an' Jimmy an' the boys runnin' dark up in the mountain air, yeah

Got a couple more runs till the sun's comin' up in the east

Ol' Fletcher's in the car drinkin' whiskey from a jar through his teeth

Jimmy ain't back but his tracks lead up into the trees

I guess there ain't nothing for it but to drive on up and see what we see, yeah, uh huh

So don't you let ol' Fletcher take the wheel tonight

His heart's grown cold an' this old dirt road runs rough and ragged to a terrible height

So don't you let ol' Fletcher take the wheel tonight

There ain't much to live for, but there's this woman and she's got me feelin' pretty alright

Lovin', oh Lord, can make me change my ways, so won't you let me live another day

Guess I'd like to live another day

Ol' Fletcher's been drinkin' with a pistol and he's itchin' to play

Sayin', "Man, I had this woman, she was livin' at the mouth of the bay

But she found me out and now she sees a man who wears a suit

I seen him walkin' his dog down by the company in brand new boots, yeah, uh huh"

So don't you let ol' Fletcher take the wheel tonight

His heart's grown cold an' this old dirt road runs rough and ragged to a terrible height

So don't you let ol' Fletcher take the wheel tonight

There ain't much to live for, but there's this woman and she's got me feelin' pretty alright

Lovin', oh Lord, can make me change my ways, so won't you let me live another day

I guess I'd like to live another day, yeah
