A busted bottle on the railroad tracks Walkin' and talkin' to that monkey on my back Catch that monkey try to throw him down But the monkey thinks it's funny just ridin' around
Down the road goin' nowhere Down the road, I'm almost there
Ain't nobody livin' at the Krantz Hotel Devil done been there took all my friends to Hell Hadn't been in the jail house he woulda got me Seen a black flag flyin' from a live oak tree
Down the road goin' nowhere Down the road, I'm almost there
Seen my mama last night she was sittin' by my bed Worried 'bout you son was the only thing she said Ten years now my mama been gone She's still tryin' to teach me what's right and what's wrong
Down the road goin' nowhere Down the road almost there Down the road goin' nowhere Down the road almost there.
