Headed down
That Heartworn Hopeless Highway
Tryin’ to find a friend to help me through
Wouldn’t ya know
Ain’t no-one was headed my way
My smile strained through the pain they claimed I was due
Somehow I kept on singin’
As them stars came tumblin’ down
Diggin’ up dirt from my cold cold ground
So I packed up
And I rolled on just like thunder
O’er Shenandoah across the Mason-Dixon Line
O Brown Liquor
Swigged like a pig of virtue
Down through the delta I hung my hat with pride
Somehow I kept on singin’
As them stars came a tumblin’ down
Diggin’ up dirt from my cold cold ground
And everyone who passed me
Gave me such a dirty look
Some people love judgin’ the cover of your book
Back through the dive through snorted pills and whispers
I hit the end of my rope and swung around in my tomb
Till a southern belle - she held me through my weepin’
As I spilled my soul in a Louisville hotel room
Somehow I kept singin’
As them stars came a tumblin’ down
Diggin’ up dirt from my cold cold ground
And everyone who passed me
Gave me such a dirty look
Some people love judgin’ the cover
People love judgin’ the cover
People love judgin’ the cover of your book
