This ol' wheel keeps on rollin' down the road
This ol' wheel keeps on rollin' down the road

Oh gravel and dust fly up off of truck tires
down a dirt road
In Nashville, In the summertime, In 1996
I was listenin' to my dad and Johnny Cash
Doin' chain gang and talkin' trash with Savannah and smokin' cigarettes
But it wasn't that long till I tasted the salt of the sea
Cause she was still in love with the guy she left for me so
She stood there cryin' as I packed my pack
And I knew that I was lyin' when I said that I'd be back

This ol' wheel keeps on rollin' down the road
This ol' wheel keeps on rollin' down the road

Now fast forward to about 2000 and 3
I'm standin' on the corner of Hollywood and Vine
Just a six string and me
And that capitol building
Lookin' up at that thing
Wonderin' when am I gonna get my chance to sing
But faced with that kind of predicament it'd be pretty hard to to get choked up
When every hero I've had and every band I had broke up
I'm invited to a party and I just can't come cause I know that once I'm in I can't pull out till I'm done

This ol' wheel keeps on rollin' down the road
This ol' wheel keeps on rollin' down the road

In my last nine to ten old Ah Pook waltzed in
Put his slimy gun to my head and said son this is the end
I said you better get back I got an army of good friends
Who would follow me to hell and I've done the same for them
Besides you're not going to destroy what we've worked so hard to defend
We protect the things we love just like our families did
We picked a long and winding road and we'd do it again
We picked a dark horse and we're gonna ride it till the end

This ol' wheel keeps on rollin' down the road
This ol' wheel keeps on rollin' down the road

Looks like The King and 'Cilla
got a little too drunk last night
And we came in and it turned in
to a Hank and Audrey fight

You fixed my face up good
and I broke everything in sight
And as we coasted out on fumes
in raised the light

When you slipped your little hand in mine

And it's them lady like things
that make me go insane
That turn me right around
I fall in love with you again
I wouldn't crave the golden days
without the cold blue rain
Like beauty spiked with pain

Like tangled up roses
Like tangled up roses
Like tangled up roses
Like tangled up roses

We've grown around each other
right from the very start
And the thorns that sting our side
assure we won't be torn apart

And when our coldest winter seems
that it will never pass
You usher in the summer wind
with a singing of your laugh

You put your little hand in mine

And it's them lady like things
that make me go insane
That turn me right around
I fall in love with you again
I wouldn't crave the golden days
without the cold blue rain
Like beauty spiked with pain

Like tangled up roses
Like tangled up roses
Like tangled up roses
Like tangled up roses

Your legs wind up around my heart
Like life immitating art
Two lovers strike poses

Like tangled up roses
Like tangled up roses
Like tangled up roses
Like tangled up roses

Oh, like tangled up roses
Like tangled up roses
Like tangled up roses
Like tangled up roses

Here comes Johnny singin' oldies, goldies
Be-bop-a-lua, baby, what I say
Here comes Johnny singin' I gotta woman
Down in the tunnel, tryin' to make it pay

He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turnin' on the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
And he do the walk, he do the walk of life
Yeah, he do the walk of life

Here comes Johnny, gonna tell you a story
Hand me down my walkin' shoes
Here comes Johnny with the power and the glory
To back beat the talkin' blues

He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turnin' on the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
And he do the walk, he do the walk of life
Yeah, he do the walk of life

Here comes Johnny singin' oldies, goldies
Be-bop-a-lua, baby, what I say
Here comes Johnny singin' I gotta woman
Down in the tunnel, tryin' to make it pay

He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turnin' on the night time into the day

And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song about the trouble and the strife
And he do the walk, he do the walk of life
Yeah, he do the walk of life

Was it really years ago?
It seems like only yesterday
The last time that I saw
You laugh at me and fly away

I remember all of the good times
And the songs we used to sing
Old friend, we sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing

Lord, you should've heard the music
And all the changes it's gone through
But the funny thing is lately
It keeps on easing back to you

But there's always something missing
It'll never be the same
Old friend, we sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing

They've been writin' books about you
And the stories that they tell
Make you look like some kind of angel
And we both know you're as mean as hell

Well, I've had my share of hard times
But I've lived through the strain
Old friend, I sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing

People talk about you
After all this time
You were many things to many people
But you were a friend of mine

I've been thinking 'bout how long
You've been gone, the things you've never seen
But old friend, I sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing

Old buddy, we sure've missed you
But you ain't missed a thing

Slow Ride on a slow train
Gonna get back home and
Tell 'em where I came from

Slow Ride on a slow train
Gonna get back home and
Tell 'em where I came from

Every night when I close my eyes
My head hurts so bad
that it blows my mind

Every night when I close my eyes
My head hurts so bad
That it blows my mind

Got a devil on my shoulder
And that ain’t nothing new
I keep doin’ what he says
Cause there ain’t nothing else to do

Oh if you got the money
I know where to spend it honey
Gotta get myself straight
Before I lose my cool

Slow Ride on a slow train
Gonna get back home and
Tell 'em where I came from

Slow Ride on a slow train
Gonna get back home and
Tell 'em where I came from

The only thing in my days of chains
is this woman in my bed
and this age in my brain

The only thing in my days of chains
is this woman in my bed
and this age in my brain

Slow Ride on a slow train
Gonna get back home and
Tell 'em where I came from

Slow Ride on a slow train
Gonna get back home and
Tell 'em where I came from

Slow Ride on a slow train
Gonna get back home and
Tell 'em where I came from

Slow Ride on a slow train
Gonna get back home and
Tell 'em where I came from

Woo hoo woo hoo
Yeah
Woo hoo woo hoo
Oh yeah
Woo hoo woo hoo

Woo hoo woo hoo
Yeah
Woo hoo woo hoo
Oh yeah
Woo hoo woo hoo

Slow Ride on a slow train
Gonna get back home and
Tell 'em where I came from

Slow Ride on a slow train
Gonna get back home and
Tell 'em where I came from

Concrete Cowboys eat grinded grits
They don't always wear hats
or sling guns on their hips

They know a song by the taste on her lips
And he's as lonesome on any given day
as the sound of that far away train
that he prays someday will take him away

Lucky Lucinda was a big city girl
Hungerin' for Country in a Rock-n-Roll world
Dice shooting Darren was a sucker for Mearle
She saw the hollow look in his eyes
She longed to slide his boots under her bed tonight

You'll never make him at home
for he's a ramblin stone
Little girl, he can get darker than you've ever known
And he always rides alone

You're best to leave him alone
for he's a ramblin stone
Little girl, things can get darker than you've ever known
And he always rides alone

If life's a bowl of cherries
Why is mine the pits
Well I feel like crap from the bottom of my boots to my hat to my fingertips
I wanna get drunk get stoned get high and hang out with my friends
And all I need is a woman's warmth
And that's where you come in

I wanna get high and then get higher
Every city is just a little bit different in the same way
I wanna get drunk and then get drunker
Live every minute to the limit till the end of my days

Well a bus pulls up the honky tonk
And there's a line around the honky-block
Ya know, that's what these crackers love to see
Ya see I threw out my fishing line and honey I caught you
When after the show in the back of the bus
Oh sweetheart I know what you wanna do

You wanna high and then get higher
Every city is just a little bit different in the same way
You wanna get drunk and then get drunker
And spend every minute to the limit till the end of my days

Now sit down honey I'm gonna tell you the truth for the first time
Oh no dinner no movie no flowers no malls no suit no tie no cell phone calls no promises popcorn roller skates diamond rings
or making cakes no brand new fast cars ice cream candy bars checkin' in callin' back no (do you think I'm fat) kiss me once
kiss me twice damn you feel nice do you think I might see you next year

Stone and then get stoneder
Every woman's just a little bit different in the same way
I wanna get drunk and then get drunker
Yeah live every minute to the limit till the end of my days
Oh yeah spend every minute to the limit till the end of my days

There was a time when I would lie and say I needed you
'Cause I didn't have nowhere else to go
Yeah, you go your way, I'll go mine
We'll get together, have ourselves a good time
There ain't no use, tryin' to squeeze blood from a stone

Oh, I will go on without you
This ain't the first time I've been high and dry
If I should hold on I'll try to
I'm gonna have to fight but I will get by

The best friend I got said if you can wake up every day
And ask yourself how can I be a better friend
Yeah, when the angels come they're coming down to take you away
You're the one who's gonna have to pay in the end

Oh, I will go on without you
This ain't the first time I've been high and dry
If I should hold on I'll try to
I'm gonna have to fight but I will get by

Yeah, come tomorrow I'll start again
Yeah, I'll never need you and lose myself

Oh, I will go on without you
This ain't the first time I've been high and dry
If should hold on I'll try to
I'm gonna have to fight but I will get by

Oh, I will go on without you
This ain't the first time I've been high and dry
I should hold on I'll try to
I'm gonna have to fight but I will get by

Well, my mama tried to keep me out of trouble
But the devil wouldn't have it that way
Oh boy, pray and stay humble
Were the last words that I heard her say

And tonight I'll be drivin', way past cryin'
It's last time that I let you down
If I hadn't broken her heart it wouldn't be so hard
To lay her into the cold, cold ground
It's the last time that I let you down

Well, my woman, she's all packed and she's leavin'
Said I crossed that line one too many times
Talk about drinkin' and ridin', hell raisin'
Lord, no, I gave her the ride

And tonight I'll be drivin', way past cryin'
It's last time that I let you down
If I hadn't broken her heart it wouldn't be so hard
To watch her, not turn her down
It's the last time that I let her down

And I pray that I stay out of trouble

Cause tonight I'll be drivin', way past cryin'
It's last time that I let you down
I'll be goin' under the den until this road ends
Maybe then I'll turn it around
It's the last time that I let you down

Yeah, it's the last time that I let you down
Oh, it's the last time that I let you down

O darlin' that satin gown
So beautiful you shut my mouth
No need to read our love aloud
Go on and put those candles out
And gone to me

Had a feeling since I was three
That there was something else inside of me
That I didn't want the world to see
You're the one that brought that out of me

She is a diamond, who shatters like glass
She lives in color, in a world white and black, and after it all

There were times when things got bad
I didn't want to see the love you had
There were friends and lovers in my wake
Like a lighthouse you sailed me in safe

She is a diamond, who shatters like glass
She lives in color, in a world white and black, and after it all

Buyin' a pack of Winston Lights
at the news stand and five and dime
I caught a borrowed glance at the problems of the world

Everything either too high or low
Am I country enough or too rock-n-roll
And God bless poor Anna Nicole

Can't find no shelter from the storm that's coming on
Yeah stick together, or just die like the other dogs
I just can't weather this feeling like I don't belong
In the midst of helter skelter, I just can't find no shelter for The Wolf

Oh, no no

I keep on writing my songs to sing, along this two bit smoke parade
I never wanted the money, and I never wanted fame
Like everyone else who rides my name
Who's poised to push right me in front of that train
And make out like pirates, while I sink in the rain

Can't find no shelter from the storm that's coming on
Yeah stick together, or just die like the other dogs
I can't weather this feeling like I don't belong
Oh, the midst of helter skelter, I just can't find no shelter for The Wolf

Ohhh, no no nooo

{ Just can't find no shelter }
No, na no, na no, na no, na no, na no, no
{ Just can't find no shelter }

I just can't find no shelter for The Wolf

Oh, no shelter, from the storm that's coming on
Yeah stick together, or just die like the other dogs
Oh, I just can't weather, this feeling like I don't belong
Oh, the midst of helter skelter, I just can't find no shelter
Oh, the midst of helter skelter, I just can't find no shelter for The Wolf

Oh, no no nooo

If I go crazy
of if I pull through
its only a matter of time
til I lose my reason
the way I lost you
its only a matter of time

frauline I miss climbing your vines
one taste of your fruit and I grow as high as the tall tall pines
and if i go crazy or if I pull through
its only a matter of time till I lose my reason, I've already lost you
its only a matter of time

I'm fine honey, I'm not losin my mind
I'm just watchin the bubbles as I sink and they fly and become one with the blue sky
if I go crazy or if I pull through its only a matter of time
for I hit the bottom, the bottle hit his bottom too
its only a matter of time

wake up in the morning and grab my piece
put my clothes in my bag and in my hair some grease
blast a lil bit of water on my face and I'm on the run
its been three long days since I seen your face and I never thought I'd ever wanna leave this place
but no matter how far I run it aint far enough
its just a matter of time before I lose my mind
and I feel just fine fine
the only time I rest is when I sleep

there's blood in the rug where ya punched my nose
and I'm singin these songs at all my shows
heaven only knows you're still around
I see your friends when I'm out on the town
when I talk about us I try to keep it down
what goes around honey you know its gotta go down
its just a matter of time before I lose my mind
now that your sun dont shine
the only time I rest is when I sleep

its just a matter of time
its just a matter of time
oh its just a matter of time
oh its just a matter of time
oh its just a matter of time
matter of time
matter of time
