Wake up every morning, by the break of dawn Hear that rooster crowing, I feel so all alone Honey suckle outside my window, dew sparkling on the vine Little squirrels is a'barking Like they thought they was a mountain-lion I get to thinking about the road, all the times I've been back again I was born a child of these muddy roads I guess I'll die here lonesome as the wind Cause all my cars are broke down Laying in my front yard I ought to get one together But the work just seems too hard A man come 'round this morning, Wanting to paint my barn Paint it "See it Rock City, US Highway 41" Ladies and gentlemen - Mr. Scott H Biram Well Shooter, I used to have me a church woman Oh just as pretty as can be Aww, but she ran off with Jimmy Swaggart Up in Nashville Tennessee So I drink me a whole lot of liquor And I drink me a whole lot of booze I'm a midnight country-rambler And I ain't got nothing to lose I ain't got nothing to lose boys I wake up in the mornings Laying in the jail My head will be hurting I won't be feeling too well That old fat-bellied sheriff come talking up to me He wanna know how it felt: Not being free? I said didn't matter much, Didn't hurt at all I'd rather be locked up in jail in hell, Than be a fat bellied cop! A man come 'round this morning, Wanting to paint my barn Paint it "See it Rock City, US Highway 41"
