VERSE ONE:

Well, it's been rough and rocky travellin' but I'm finally standin' upright on the ground

And after takin' several readings, I'm surprised to find my mind's still fairly sound

I thought Nashville was the roughest, but I guess I've said the same about them all

Got one hell of an education in the cities of this nation, me and Tompall



VERSE TWO:

I got busted in Loredo for reasons that I'd rather not disclose

But if you're stayin' in a motel there and leave there, don't leave nothin' in your clothes

At the airport in Milwalkee, they refused to let us board the plane at all

They said we looked suspicious, but I think they liked to pick on me and Paul



VERSE THREE:

On a package show in Buffalo with us and Kitty Wells and Charley Pride

The show was long and I just hung around and I'd come there to pick, not for the ride

We drank a lot of whiskey, so I ain't sure we went on that night at all

But I don't think they even missed us... I guess Buffalo ain't geared for me and Tompall
