Lyrics Steve Earle

Steve Earle

Down the Road Pt II

Woke up in the mornin' with the middle of nowhere blues

Nothin' in my pocket but a ticket that I can't use

Been hangin' around this town and it's startin' to show

Down the road I go

Standin' on the highway with the road burnin' through my shoes

Roll over Kerouac and tell Woody Guthrie the news

Heard it said there ain't nothin' ahead but I don't know

Down the road I go

Blowin' in the wind and flyin' like a cannonball

Never seen a city where I couldn't find a place to fall

But it's only a matter of time before I'm feelin' low

Down the road I go

Daddy was a Chevy mama was a Cadillac

I was gone as soon as I was born and I ain't been back

I'm a rounder and a friend to any old wind that blows

Down the road I go
