I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Like ridin' around on rail-cars and working long days
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
Call it one drink too many
Call it pride of man
But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand
Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin
Yeah cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin
We do it over and over and over again
We do it over and over and over again
Oh's
I know there's California, Oklahoma
And all the places I ain't ever been to
But down in the valley with risky rivers
These are the places you will find me hidin'
These are the places I will always go
These are the places I will always go
I am on my way
I am on my way
I am on my way back to where I started
Oh's
One more for the stars and the eyes of the walls
I saw your face
I saw your face in the crowd and you came out
You saw me walkin' in the valley
You got a sign on the door and it reads to me
Just like the grass and the sun and the water
Oh's
I am on my way
I am on my way
I am on my way back to where I started
California, Oklahoma
And all of the places I ain't never been to
But down in the valley with whiskey rivers
These are the places you will find me hidin'
These are the places I will always go
These are the places I will always go
So I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways.
