I always heard that home is where the heart is
With a heart like mine I don't think I'll go back
Followed fame and fortune down the highway
But dusty boots are all I got for that
Living on the road ain't all they said it'd be
The booze is weak and the coke tastes just like sand
I set out sings songs I learned from living
Now I'm living all the words Ive said
And I've done wrong, been gone to long
So drunk on highway living I can't see
But all I've done, was for the sake of a song
I'm sure I'm not the man I meant to be
All for sinners, drifters, and broken men like me
I tell myself I'll make it to the west coast
Find a girl and get old in LA
I broke down in some two horse town a week ago
It ain't much but its enough to make me stay
And I've done wrong, been gone to long
So drunk on highway living I can't see
But all I've done, was for the sake of a song
I'm sure I'm not the man I meant to be
All for sinners, drifters, and broken men like me
I set out to be a singer, but this highway stole my heart
And I've cheated, and Ive lied, but I never meant no harm
No I never, meant no harm
And I've done wrong, been gone to long
So drunk on highway living I can't see
But all I've done, was for the sake of a song
I'm sure I'm not the man I meant to be
All for sinners, drifters, and broken men like me
All for sinners, drifters, and broken men like me
