lyrics

HOME TO LOUISE

Hard traveling, coming up thirteen
The back end of nothing makes it tough and lean
Oh, where's the gravy train?
Two chord song, ain't saving up for a four
Two chord song, all that I can afford
Where'd the money go?

Poor, poor boy can't find no relief
From the drunks on the dance floor
Kicking the mic in my teeth
But it's gonna be alright
When we get back home to Louise

Soundman is sketchy, he ain't sharing a dime
Laughing, it ain't funny
Spilling his wine
Hiding from the spotlight
Sweating through this suit and I'm feeling a wreck
Pockets are empty I can't call collect

Poor, poor boy tore my heart off my sleeve
Now both my ears are ringing
And I'm shaking down to my knees
But it's gonna be alright
When we get back home to Louise

White knuckle ride twenty nights in a row
Coast to coast on the radio
Oh, Where'd the miles go?
Rednecks slinging gravel at the watering hole
Bright lights shining from the Highway Patrol
Lord, What's the trouble for?

Poor, poor boy can't find no reprieve
From the Judge at the county
Putting on the squeeze
But it's gonna be alright
When we get back home to Louise
Getting all we please
When we get back home to Louise
