Wake up in the morning long and lean
Stoppin' at the corner cigarettes and gasoline
Pullin' down Main Street shiftin' through gears
Rollin' up that highway they been working on for years
One eye on the sunrise, one eye on the clock
Come tomorrow morning I'm gonna make it back to Little Rock
I searched through L.A. County the valleys and the stars
All my life I tried to find
A piece of this Earth for my peace of mind
All these years of searchin' let my troubles disappear
Maybe find a place where we can sit and drink a beer
Half a pack and seven hours put up on the shelf
