I-77 Blues

Well, we were rockin' and a rollin' down i-77

Through a little piece of land that I call heaven,

Hopin' and a prayin' we can keep it between the lines.

We stopped at Bojangles for biscuits and gravy,

I hop on through Charlotte cause I gots to see my baby, oh boy,

There's nothin' like Caroline.

Well the man at the border he gave me the order,

Said take a pound down to the south side of Florida,

And no funny business boys, you know we got a schedule to keep.

We's avoidin' 95, just tryin' to stay alive,

South a Roanoke, I let my rider drive,

The sun was wakin' up and we still ain't had a wink of sleep.

Repeat Chorus

Stuck outside Decatuer eatin' nothin' but tomatoes,

Says the man at the station, sounds like the alternator,

But where you boys headed, I got a cousin tryin' to skip town.

So we cut the cousin in and hit the road again,

Our throats they was a dry and he said he had a friend,

We were 90 miles from Charlotte and we never put that bottle down.

Repeat Chorus

Vowing that we must make Burlington or bust,

Livin' on pills and pockets full of dust,

I ain't had a bath since I left out the 704.

Oh but bless our souls, we couldn't beat the snow

Got trapped in Albany, and we couldn't play the toll,

We might a lost a shoe but at least we got our foot in the door.

Repeat Chorus
