They put my name on a marquee sign in Phoenix
From the looks of things, folks 'round here can't read
I'm playin' to a barkeep and some old drunk that's past his prime
I'll pack this joint when I come through next time
I got a show tomorrow night in Texarkana
Starin' down a fourteen hour drive
I'm diggin' through the beer cans and Marlboro empties on the floor
Hopin' I might find one that'll light
The road I'm on is cold and dark and lonely
I ain't got a penny to my name
Folks back home still think I'm gon' make it
I wish like hell I still felt the same
There ain't nothin' in this world quite as lonesome
As midnight on a highway you don't know
Stuck here between a hero and a has-been
With the static on the AM radio
The road I'm on is cold and dark and lonely
I ain't got a penny to my name
Folks back home still think I'm gon' make it
I wish like hell I still felt the same
