Lyrics
Sitting down at the station, nothing to do,
I lit myself a cigarette and set fire to my shoe.
It was purely accidental
I thought the match had gone out
Started hooting and hollering and dancing all about.
CHORUS
Barefoot at the station, my guitar on my back
Drinking like a fish, smoking like a stack.
When I leave this town, well I won't come back
Hardcore fucked for longer or your money back.
Roman candle, shot for the stars
Left a trail of fire between here and Mars
Landed in a haystack behing an old man's barn,
Barefooting again before they sound the alarm.
CHORUS
Gone five hundred miles, got five hundred more to go.
Half's been in the rain and the other in the snow.
Come this time of year the only place I know
where the sun don't always shine but the grass always grows.
CHORUS
