Whitehouse Road

Early in the morning when the sun does rise

Laying in the bed with bloodshot eyes

Late in the evening when the sun sinks low

That's about the time my rooster crows

I got women up and down this creek

And they keep me going and my engine clean

Run me ragged but I don't fret

'Cause there ain't been one to slow me down none yet

Get me drinking that moonshine

Get me higher than the grocery bill

Take my troubles to the high wall

Throw 'em in the river and get your fill

We been sniffing that cocaine

Ain't nothing better when the wind cuts cold

Lord, it's a mighty hard living

But a damn good feeling to run these roads

I got people trying to tell me, "Red

Keep this living and you'll wind up dead

Cast your troubles on the Lord of Lords

Wind up laying on the cooling board"

But I got buddies up Whitehouse Road

And they keep me strutting when my feet hang low

Rotgut whiskey gonna ease my pain

And all this running's gonna keep me sane

Get me drinking that moonshine

Get me higher than the grocery bill

Take my troubles to the high wall

Throw 'em in the river and get your fill

We been sniffing that cocaine

Ain't nothing better when the wind cuts cold

Lord, it's a mighty hard living

But a damn good feeling to run these roads

It's a damn good feeling to run these roads

When you lay me in the cold hard clay

Won't you sing them hymns while the banjo plays

You can tell them ladies that they ought not frown

'Cause there ain't been nothing ever held me down

Lawmen, women, or a shallow grave

Same old blues just a different day

Get me drinking that moonshine

Get me higher than the grocery bill

Take my troubles to the high wall

Throw 'em in the river and get your fill

We been sniffing that cocaine

Ain't nothing better when the wind cuts cold

Lord, it's a mighty hard living

But a damn good feeling to run these roads

It's a damn good feeling to run these roads

It's a damn good feeling to run these roads
