Scratched Up Shades Lyrics

When it's all said and done

And the tank's run dry

I'll be out on my own

Barely keeping alive

Got my good thumb out

On that dusty plain

Just a whittled to the bone

In the wind and rain

Oh this highway goes on forever

Stretching out all the way to the coast

With nothing to be seen, but a man and his machine

Looking for a place to call his own

Got a ride from a trucker

On the fringes of town

Says he's tired of the city

Always keeping him down

Gonna put all his money

In a big ole knapsack

Sit down at the table

And bet on the black

Oh this highway goes on forever

Stretching out all the way to the coast

With nothing to be seen, but a man and his machine

Looking for a place to call his own

Woke up in the morning

Found that trucker had gone

Confused and bewildered

I was feeling so wronged

Had a dollar in my pocket

And a dream within my heart

I took off down the road

To get an early head start

Oh this highway goes on forever

Stretching out all the way to the coast

With nothing to be seen, but a man and his machine

Looking for a place to call his own

Oh this highway goes on forever

Stretching out all the way to the coast

With nothing to be seen, but a man and his machine

Looking for a place to call his own
