HIT A LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD LAST YEAR
SET ME ON MY FEET
PACKED UP ALL MY WORLDLY GEAR
AND DROVE ON DOWN THE STREET
GOT MY DOG MY GUITAR MY TRUCK
JUST DIDN’T HAVE A PLAN
BUT THAT BLACKTOP AHEAD
SEEMED LIKE ENOUGH
TO ROLL OUT A BETTER MAN
SUN COME UP SUN GO DOWN
BIG CITY SMALL TOWN
DIRT ROAD OR INTERSTATE
IT DON’T MATTER IF I’M EARLY OR LATE
CAUSE I BEEN...
BEER SIPPIN’ DIP SPITTIN'
WAITRESS TIPPIN’ IN A HONKYTONK BAR
I SEEN...
GUITARS TWANGIN’ DRUMS BANGIN’
GIRLS HANGIN’ ON A FUTURE COUNTRY STAR
I BEEN ROAD TRIPPIN’ ACROSS THE US OF A
MADE A LITTLE DEAL BETWEEN ME AND MYSELF
SEE WHAT THERE IS TO SEE
I KNOW THERE’S GOT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE
IT’S JUST WAITING ON ME
SUN COME UP SUN GO DOWN
BIG CITY SMALL TOWN
DIRT ROAD OR INTERSTATE
IT DON’T MATTER IF I’M EARLY OR LATE
CAUSE I BEEN...
BEER SIPPIN’ DIP SPITTIN'
WAITRESS TIPPIN’ IN A HONKYTONK BAR
I SEEN...
FINGER FLIPPIN’ BUTT KICKIN’ TOOTH CHIPPIN’
WHEN THE FLIRTIN’ WENT TOO FAR
I BEEN ROAD TRIPPIN’ ACROSS THE US OF A
I DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M GOING
BUT I KNOW WHERE I BEEN
NO EMAIL TWITTER JUST FREE AS THE WIND
NO WAITIN’ FOR TOMORROW
I LIVE FOR TODAY
JUST ROAD TRIPPIN’ CROSS THE US OF A
I BEEN...
BEER SIPPIN’ DIP SPITTIN'
WAITRESS TIPPIN’ IN A HONKYTONK BAR
I SEEN EIGHTEEN WHEELERS
MIDNIGHT HEALERS VEGAS DEALERS
TURNING OVER WINNING CARDS
I BEEN ROAD TRIPPIN’ ACROSS THE US OF A
