Firebound Road Songtext
Worked my whole damn life tryin' to prove my standin'
Down the highway never endin'
A vagabond out and on the loose
Lady Luck never been to kind to me
Leaves me stranded every time it seems
The dealer's showin' three, buddy, I draw the deuce
Oh, and my love life's been just as complicated
I come home and my sweet gal is waitin'
In the driveway with her head a-shakin'
She says, "Honey, make your mind up now
You can saddle up or settle down"
Guess I'll go ahead and turn that that truck around
'Cause daylight's wastin'

Well, sweet Lord have mercy, well, good God almighty
Well, I'm keepin' on, ain't no doubt about it
Feelin' a little inconsequential in this transcendental world
Starin' at that firebound road, workin' my way on down it

Well, yeah, we had a big show out in Hollywood
We sold a few tickets and it feels so good
To be up there, shinin' in the marquee limelight
Oh, but they need to switch them letters 'round
Man, just who the hell is Mountain Town?
We drove all this way, at least get that name right
And the green room hang, it was strong as hell
'Til the barman come inside to yell
"Hey, boys, I think it's time for y'all to be leavin'"
But the motel checkout ain't 'til noon
So it's beers in the treadmill room
I think it's time we exorcise a few more demons

'Cause Sweet Lord have mercy, well, good God almighty
Well, I'm keepin' on, ain't no doubt about it
Feelin' a little inconsequential in this transcendental world
Starin' at that firebound road, workin' my way on down it


Yeah, sweet Lord have mercy, well, good God almighty
Well, I'm keepin' on, ain't no doubt about it
Feelin' a little inconsequential in this transcendental world
Starin' at that firebound road, workin' my way on down it
Starin' at that firebound road, workin' my way on down

Hey, hey (Hey, hey)
Hey, hey (Hey, hey)
Hey, hey
(Woo)
