I've been under the motor, she's losing oil
Running on lies and alcohol
I'm going, boys I'm going
Soon as we're done, we're pulling down the ride
As soon as we're done, pulling down the ride
I ain't standing you no more rounds
No more stuffing your pockets with pounds
I'm going, boys I'm going
Soon as we're done, we're pulling down the ride
As soon as we're done, pulling down the ride
Well, I've fixed a fuse now the brakes won't budge
I'm laid down tired, sober as a judge
Soon as we're done, we're pulling down the ride
As soon as we're done, pulling down the ride
I tried looking in the mirror
Seeing those cars behind
Yes and all these towns
Nothing but a hard old ground
If you're done, I'll never need
I won't worry, I won't greave
I'm going, boys I'm going
Soon as we're done, we're pulling down the ride
As soon as we're done, pulling down the ride.
