The highways are insane, we take gin to protect us
But I'll see you in hell before you see me in Lovex, Texas
But I try to keep my head up, try, yeah I try a lot
But I never seem to make it past the goddamn opening slot
Well its not a bad crowd for a monday, and if you can't pay me well that's
Alright
Please just let me drink for free tonight

And Gideon's bible knows the crisis comes when you're far from home
Out of Pensacola into New Orleans
Out of Illinois into misery
A romantic comedy plays on TV, the words close caption on the screen
A strange bar, a strange town, my strange life
I love you baby, I miss you baby, goodnight

I learned all I could from the bad shows, more than I need to know
About truck stop bathrooms, classic rock, and right-wing talk radio
Well I'll have one more pitcher of PBR, on my credit card
If you don't hear my telephone ringing its the A & R, A & R, A & R
Well I'm tired of waking up in a rest stop, tired of sending you my love
From the back of a van in a taco bell parking lot

And Gideon's bible knows the crisis comes when you're far from home
Out of Hattiesburg into New Orleans
Out of Illinois into misery
A buddy cop movie made for tv, the words close caption on the screen
A strange bar, a strange town, my strange life
I love you baby, I miss you baby, goodnight
A strange bar, a strange town, my strange life
I love you baby, I miss you baby, goodnight
I love you baby, I miss you baby, goodnight.
