Lord it's been rough and rocky travelin' but I'm finally standing upright on the ground
After taking several readings I'm surprised to find my mind's still fairly sound
I thought Nashville was the roughest but I guess I've said the same about them all
Upon hell of an education in the cities of this nation me and Tompaul
I got busted in Laredo for reasons that I'd rather not disclose
If you're stayin' in a motel there and leave there don't leave nothin' in your clothes
At the airport in Milwaukee they refused to let us board the plane at all
They said we looked suspicious but I think they like to pick on me and Paul
[ guitar ]
On a package show in Buffalo with us and Kitty Wells and Charlie Pride
The show was long and I just hung around
And I'd come there to pick not for the ride
We drunk a lot of whiskey so I ain't sure we went on that night at all
I don't think they even missed us I guess Buffalo ain't geared for me and Tompaul
