Longshot Lyrics

I've been working all week get here, baby, 'cause the only place to go is home

I just drove 5 hours after work on a Friday and I listen to some country songs

Then I drove this truck 'til I hit some gravel when she told me that she done wrong

I know where the bottles buried so there's gonna be some alcohol

I do it for my babies

'Cause they'd do it for me

I'm gonna stay up late, I'm gonna stay up horny and I'll sing about thirty songs

I'm gonna sing about life, I'm gonna sing about struggle and I'm gonna sing some dirty songs

I'm gonna follow this creek 'til it hit's that river and I'll sing about a broken home

And I wanna go to church in the morning 'cause I wanna sing the gospel

I do it for my babies

'Cause they'd do it for me

I do it for my babies

'Cause they've spent their lifetimes with me

I know you'll be a longshot, honey, so I'm gonna need some alcohol

A few more beers and a couple more lines and I think that we might have a show

We're gonna load in the back door, baby, and we're gonna play a music hall

We'll get tuned in with the kick and the rhythm and we're gonna play some rock 'n roll

I do it for my babies

'Cause they'd do it for me

I do it for my babies

'Cause they spent a lifetime with me

I do it for my babies

But they remember me

I do it for my babies

'Cause they've got the whole world to see

I'm goin' out to where the blacktop ends and I ain't ever coming home

I managed to save just a little bit of money and now my time is free to roam

I'm gonna turn this volume up 'til eleven and I'm gonna play some rock 'n roll

I've been down deep with the hits and the misses and now I'm gonna bet it all
