Lyrics
COUNTRY ROAD SHOW
Verse:
We rolled into Winslow at 8:45
For a 9 O?clock gig in town.
We were tired and broke and nobody spoke,
About the snow that slowed us down.
The crowd was restless and the bar-owner told us,
They were hungry as half-starved hounds.
Cause it?s Country music that feeds their souls,
And this is where it can be found.
CHORUS:
In a COUNTRY ROAD SHOW,
Country Road Show.
I?ll never forget the fun or the hard times,
Playin in a Country Road Show.
In a COUNTRY ROAD SHOW,
Country Road Show.
Even though it?s tough, I never get enough,
Playin in a Country Road Show.
Verse:
There?s Willie on guitar, Rickie on piano,
And Lefty on the pedal-steel.
With Bobby on drums, they?re as good as they come,
They know every Country feel.
With Hank on the fiddle, playin high-diddle-diddle,
I?ll be singin till the morning comes.
Then we?ll pack the van, and we?re on the road again,
On the run chasin? after the sun.
CHORUS:
In a COUNTRY ROAD SHOW,
Country Road Show.
I?ll never forget the fun or the hard times,
Playin in a Country Road Show.
In a COUNTRY ROAD SHOW,
Country Road Show.
Even though it?s tough, I never get enough,
Playin in a Country Road Show.
Bridge:
I got friends in places without any faces,
Just a spotlight in my eyes.
I gotta wife that hardly knows me,
And a boy that just turned five.
It hurts every time I sing Good Hearted Woman,
I?m so lonesome I could cry.
So I tell the stories, and chase the glory,
With the mile-posts passin me by.
CHORUS&OUT:
