lyrics

Well, it’s hard just to get by this time of year
We’ve got a manager from downtown and he wonders why we’re here
He’s got a little bit of money
Got a whole lot of plans
He’s gonna get us on out of here
He’s buying us a van

It’s got a wheel on one side that’s bigger than all the others
Got a cracked up windshield and no seat covers
Got a twelve pack in me and a DWI
We’re headed south from Kentucky
And we need someone to drive

Buckle up and sit back and hold on tight
We don’t know where it’s going but it’s sure a bumpy ride
And like a big typhoon we’ll keep you moving all night
We’re backwood, down-home, funky on the side

Well, Joey’s getting laid off and he just told his wife
Got a big new tour bus and he’s giving us a ride
He’s got a little bit of know-how and he closes up the hood
We’re busting Jimmy out of the clink
And headed out from Riverwood

There’s this girl back home who's got us booked out in Atlanta
South to Tallahassee, up the coast to Baton Rouge
Maybe to Dallas, Texas
Up through Oklahoma City
Catching a little piece of Kansas on our way back to St. Louis

Buckle up and sit back and hold on tight
We don’t know where it’s going but it’s sure a bumpy ride
And like a big typhoon we’ll keep you moving all night
We’re backwood, down-home, funky on the side
