Select language to translate this lyric
Itâs a long way to Nashville, Tennessee
Thatâs not even where weâre bound
Weâve been driving all night, we got our sights
Up on the North Saskatchewan
Weâre tired and lean from the places weâve been
And the last one is the last one in line
Thereâs dust on our faces and decals on our cases
From all of the towns we left behind
Chorus:
Cowboy singers and guitar slingers
In a travellinâ roadhouse band
Last chance on a lost highway
Tourinâ in a Northern land
Weâre gonna sing you all our songs
That you ainât never heard
Weâre booked all week long at this bar in Battleford
Weâve been a lot of nights in smoky barrooms
Weâve been a lot of days away from home
Thereâs a whole lot of lines but not too many lies
In all of the songs that I wrote
Livinâ on the road weâve always had a code
A show worth playinâ is a show worth playinâ well
Though I guess that weâd admit the closest weâve been to a hit
Was the night it came to blows behind the hotel
Chorus
Instrumental
We stood on a stage for a crowd ten-thousand strong
We played on a show where no one came
From the backstage and the back gate along a twisting highway
We played âem all and weâll play âem all again
I guess there must be somethinâ way out here with nothinâ
Doinâ what weâve all done for free
As weâre loadinâ out I can say without a doubt
Iâm sure hank done it this way
Chorus
