Sunshine beating on the good times
Moonlight raising from the grave
String band playing worn out honkey-tonks
Pretty young thing going dancing in the rain
High heel lady spitting at the nickajack
Business man with a needle and a spoon
Coyote chewing on a cigarette
Pack o' young boys going howlin' at the moon
Hey, darlin'!
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey, darlin'!
Running through the trees honey
Hey, darlin'!
Leaving for the next town
Lessen my sense catches up with me
Three dead in a crash on the number four
Two witnesses blown up high
Not sure who's will be done
You can call me a sinner for wondering why
Hey, darlin'!
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey, darlin'!
Running through the trees honey
Hey, darlin'!
Leaving for the next town
Lessen my sense catches up with me
Corn liquour tastes sweeter in this town
Could it be its the same as the last
I swear I've seen ya face elsewhere before
Just as familiar as a bottle and a glass
Hey, darlin'!
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey, darlin'!
Running through the trees honey
Hey, darlin'!
Leaving for the next town
Lessen my sense catches up with me
Hey, darlin'!
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey, darlin'!
Running through the trees honey
Hey, darlin'!
Leaving for the next town
Lessen my sense catches up with me
Lessen my sense catches up with me
