The highway's a river pulling muck through this town Fools who don't look where they drive Three years today since they ran my son down Since then things've never been right Kathleen and i fought like damnation Though neither thought the other to blame Now i live alone in the back of our gas station With no-one to carry my name Trucks hit 84 then pull on out of sight As last light hits the edge of town It's just the stars and the moon and the cold breath of night Gonna watch this old rounder go down Letras de canciones Two boys planted at the holiday inn They smashed the front window with a block of stone While i slept with my hand on a bottle of gin They took off with all the money i own Just as well no-one shoved a barrel in my face Or someone would've died that night I work to long and hard in this place For punks to get away without a fight State trooper caught 'em speeding out through Tahoka And brought an end to their spree I got back my cashbox, it's door swinging open Not much left to comfort me Their rounding up rattlers right now in sweetwater They come from the whole world round No-one's with me not a son or a daughter To watch this old rounder go down Trucks hit 84 then pull on out of sight As last light hits the edge of town It's just the stars and the moon and the cold breath of night Gonna watch this old rounder go down Gonna watch this old rounder go down From Letras Mania
