LA skyline, is breaking my back
She was my first love, that I ever had
When I hit Nashville, All the boys in the van

Just plain' the guitar, in a rock n roll band

Singin' It's a lonely road, and the ground, is cold

And the Devil's hands, they got a hold of me
It's a lonely road and the ground is cold
And Tennessee, you drown my soul


When daylight breaks, I'll be behind the wheel
Spanish boots of leather, is how I feel

Too many smokes, I wanna be rollin' stoned
Want too many jokes, I just wanna go home


It's a lonely road, and the ground is cold
And the Devil's hands, they got a hold of me
It's a lonely road and the ground is cold

And Tennessee, you drown my soul

If love is blind, then why does it hide?

Guess the doors of perception, swing wide
Swing low, sweet chariot
Take my weight and bury it


It's a lonely road, and the ground is cold
And the Devil's hands, they got a hold of me

It's a lonely road and the ground is cold
And Tennessee, you drown my soul
