Lyrics
i been cheated, i been lied to, i've had some bad deals but i will not be defeated
i been down every highway, in every one-horse town
and every honky-tonkin angel comin' around
you think that I can't rock & roll and I ain't country enough?
well i'm a backbeat kicker a front-porch picker, a guitar playing man
i got a rock n roll soul, a country jones and the blues burning in my hands
i'm like a runaqway train coming down the tracks, ain't that hard to understand: i got a rock n roll soul, a country jones and the blues burning in my hands...I'm a guitar man
