Bar Tab Song Lyrics

Well, it's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance

Did you say you work grounds and maintenance

Yeah, well, I know a thing or two about that stuff myself

But I can't go get no job, you see

I'll be gone long before they hire me

I'm gonna get off to the next small town before I get killed

But you can only walk out on your bar tab once in a small town

And there's only so many bridges that you can burn

So I hit the road, my friend

I'm gonna ride it to the highway's end

Or till I find me another place to call my home

I can't help but cause a little trouble

Yeah, I'm sure to find it on the double

Or it'll find me before I've been in this town just an hour or two

It's just the way that I came to this world

Oh, I can't help but chasin' married girls

Yeah, before it's too long to have a shotgun pointed at my head

But you can only walk out on your bar tab once in a small town

And there's only so many bridges that you can burn

So I hit the road, my friend

I'm gonna ride it to the highway's end

Or till I find me another place to call my home

Daddy stitched these holes up in his worn out pair of jeans

Yeah, before he started drinking and cussing all the time

And these worn out hand-me-down sneakers, they were all that I really needed

Just to carry me away from this crazy little old town

But you can only walk out on your bar tab once in a small town

And there's only so many bridges that you can burn

So I hit the road, my friend

I'm gonna ride it to the highway's end

Or till I find me another place to call my home

Well, I've been called a drifter, a drunkard and a sand sifter

Yeah, but no one seems to care about my point of view

Yeah, the world looks great from here

There's many places that I call dear and many faces that I long to see again

But you can only walk out on your bar tab once in a small town

And there's only so many bridges that you can burn

So I hit the road, my friend

I'm gonna ride it to the highway's end

Or till I find me another place to call my home
