lyrics

I'm driving down that lonesome highway
Been driving most the night
I'm driving down that lonesome highway
Big wheels and bright headlights
I got Bob Dylan on my radio I'm feelin'
Quite all right

I never been to California
I drank the Texas Tea
Well, I never been to California
But, you know, I've slept in Tennessee
Right now I'm in Dryden town
Feelin' about as free as I can be

My baby is a sweet thing
She got the moves that make me cry
My baby is a sweet thing
She got this glimmer in her eye
And you know she's quite the woman, though
She won't be denied.

I got the devil at my heels, got God steerin' my wheel
Got angels in the backseat saying
"How does it feel
To be free of the chains that hold most people down?"
I said, "I'll tell you when the Good Lord
Drives this car right out of town."

I see a dead man walkin'
He's hitch hiking straight to hell
I see a dead man walkin'
He's hitch hiking straight to hell
And I think I might just join him
I been planning a little trip that way myself

I'm moving like a hobo
I'm just trying to have some fun
I'm moving like a hobo
Trying to reach the setting sun
I'm selling Bibles out of my trunk, ask me later
'Cause I might have some guns

My good friend Josh Woodard
He got a noble way of walk
But oh, Josh Woodard,
He got a dirty mouth when he talk
And he got two last names use either one
'Cause he ain't picky at all.

I got the devil at my heels, got God steerin' my wheel
Got angels in the backseat saying
"How does it feel
To be free of the chains that hold most people down?"
I said, "I'll tell you when the Good Lord
Drives this car right out of town."
