steve earle – telephone road lyrics
my brother jimmy, my other brother jack
went off down to houston and they never come back
mama wasn’t gonna let her baby go yet
but there ain’t n-body hirin’ back in lafayette
i’m workin’ all week for the texaco check
sun beatin’ down on the back of my neck
tried to save my money but jimmy says no
says he’s got a little honey on telephone road
chorus:
come on come on come on let’s go
this ain’t louisiana
your mama won’t know
come on come on come on let’s go
everybody’s rockin’ out on telephone road
telephone road is ten miles long
fifty car lots and a hundred honky-tonks
jukebox blastin’ and the beer bottles ring
jimmy banging on a pinball machine
chorus
mama never told me about nothin’ like this
i guess houston’s ’bout a big as a city can get
sometimes i get lonesome for lafayette
someday i’m goin’ home but i ain’t ready yet
chorus
