lyrics

Homesick boy, chased the devil through the street
Fingers on the steel and firecrackers at your feet
Stuck to your guns, cradle to grave
A mouthful of knuckles and everything you had is all you ever gave

Homesick boy, you got an Angel’s alibi
A reefer to her lips and mascara runnin’ down her eyes
Ghost white skin, hair of coal
Legs made out of wind and a heart forged in rock ‘n’ roll

Homesick boy, lay your head on down
You’ve been drinkin’ and smokin’ and playin’ way too loud
Homesick boy, too late to turn around
You never lost a thing on this old road anyhow

Homesick boy, snatched the devil by the tail
He was runnin’ out of track and caught him sleepin’ on the rail
Paid your dues by never turnin’ loose
Stranded on the back roads singin’ the highway blues

Homesick boy, lay your head on down
You’ve been drinkin’ and smokin’ and cussin’ at the crowd
Homesick boy, too late to turn around
You never lost a thing on this old road anyhow
You never lost a thing on this old road anyhow
