All In 05:53
I am the gamblin‘ man I go downtown to lay my money down Life is a game that I don’t play I’m wasting time That’s what most people say All in – just got paid today But I don’t save it ‘till the break of the next day All in – I ain’t got no dime I’ve lost it all but I had a great time Some you win Some you lose Women, cards and dice I drown ‘em all in booze And when I come home in the morning I couldn’t save one buck But when I’m out of luck I just don’t give a damn

I’m in love with a hot rod baby She loves me too and I don’t mean maybe When she picks me up and we’re gonna do a ride Hot rod baby take me home tonight Cruising down the coast with no special place to go All that I do is just riding for the show I’m on the road, I’m on a race I took off to a distant place Roll on Jesus Chrysler Roll on down the road I like the smell of burning gasoline I like the sound of a muscle car machine The only time I’m satisfied is when I’m on a hot rod ride Shiny chrome and speed is all I need As I’m rolling down the hot concrete Upon my stone they wrote a note: Lord, take me to the promised road Eyes on the road and hand upon the wheel That's how the trip begins From now until the day she dies She rolls for our sins Roll on, keep rollin’ on forever I don’t want to arrive Step on the gas and let that engine roar God gave eternal drive

Back In Town 04:53
Once I caught a freight train and it took me far away I did not know if I’d come back some day But where were you when I left home one morning You used to roam around All alone I went down to the station I had to leave this town Everything still looks the same Since I stepped into that train Lord knows I’ve been around But now I’m back in town Now I caught a freight train and it took me right back home Back to the town I left you on your own But you were gone when I came home this morning You should have been around All alone I stood down at the station As I came back to town

Engine Room 05:02
Don’t look for me where the sun does shine You’ll find me working down at the turbine Step beside, get out of my way It’s hard enough without you anyway Sweat is my perfume I do belong down at the engine room Come down and take a look so you can see who I am It don’t take much to make me satisfied Down in this room I’m gonna die You don’t know nothing ‘bout the job I got to do I’m doing all the dirty work for you This business you don’t understand Just let me get back to work again I don’t get paid like a big talking man Who tries to tell me what to do But I don’t want the engine to break down It runs better without you

When I woke up this morning I had to hit the road again I packed my bags and headed down the highway Just like it’s always been So long, farewell I’m going down the river But you my friend stay standing at the crossroads And no one’s gonna pick you up I need no goal as long as I roll Run, you can run and tell my baby that I’m gone Drifting down a lonesome highway Which is the road you’re gonna choose? When I’m gone don’t let the wheel stop turning You’re gonna get the crossroad blues When you woke up this morning the sun was going down Remained the same and missed to leave this godforsaken town So long, farewell Goodbye, that’s all she wrote I might come back and meet you at the crossroads That’s where you fell down on your knees

Death Letter 05:19

Enter the bar I got myself another drink The jukebox plays just Rock’n’Roll And I don’t care what you may think Smoked up fucked up This honky tonk turned out to be The only place in this ol’ town Nobody points at me Throw bottles and spit against the wall When in Rome do as the romans do You want to know what it is all about? Come on in and find out! I live inside a mess Eight Pints and broken glass Hey there, bartender! Won’t you pour another round? Want to take just one more shot before I hit the ground Another bar another scar My body’s just a tool Broken glass and broken bones Another broken rule Now you’re lying – underneath the table Nobody took a look when you fell off your chair And now you know what this is all about! You’re stuck within there’s no way out! Our life’s a total mess Eight pints and broken glass

Got another job that demands all my time Standing all day long at the assembly line Daylight comes I’ll be on my way You can see me working my whole life away Late at night I’m still doing my job Everybody’s gone but I just can’t stop So far from home but I got to get this done today I got kids to feed and I got bills to pay Look at me now I am a hard working man I work my hands down to the bone Everybody knows I am a hard working man Like my father was All my life I’ll be a hard working man That’s my destiny All that it takes to be a hard working man Is all you’ve got to give You won’t see me taking a rest in the shade All day long I’ve been down in the dirt with my spade Digging a hole at the local graveyard I die young from working so hard

Prison 06:43
I’m doing time I pay for what I have done Since the day I’ve been locked away I am a stranger to my son Judge’s words were right He opened up my mind Walking right in and walk right out You leave this broken man behind I go to prison I know the reason why There’s no use to beg for mercy or hang my head and cry I am in prison and that’s alright with me All those innocent inmates They’re not like me Still counting days inside this concrete cell I can’t complain there’s only me to blame I chose a life in hell Justice is done I got my ball and chain Until the day my time will come I’ll be a number not a name Priest gave this promise to me: On the day that I’ll be changing my ways I will be free
11.
Restless I spend my life out on the road I’m driven to take a trip into the setting sun In every town I left behind I’ll always be the desperate stranger Once I turned my back to everything Lonesome, freedom, oblivion There’s never been a coming back These days I hear the whistle blow again Bye bye! I’ll be gone before the dawn I’ll grab my guitar and my hat Prepared to leave all this behind Kiss me goodbye I’m gonna hit the railroad track Hate me, miss me, forget me You do better without me Forgive me and my travelling bone A man like me will always be alone Someday you will find another one Late at night Eyes opened wide The whistle blows my name I cannot stay when seasons change and distance is calling Back on the track again You know that I was never meant to stay forever I’m bound to ride the hellbound train And on the day that I will die nobody’s gonna pray for me I’ll rest until the whistle blows again I’m on my way Decision’s done I’m on the run Soon I’ll be gone I’m coming home Train rolls on
