rocky byways - austin lounge lizards lyrics

[chorus]
rocky byways, those were my ways
driving all night, down the one*lane highways
playing bluegrass, living too fast
those were the days, best i can recall

[verse]
we heard the call when we were small
not content nor meant for digging ditches
too frivolous for the mines and mills, we hit the road for thrills
with a banjo, a cheap suit, and a sharp*dressed chicken
seeking riches

[verse]
in the perilous wild, we met a little lost child
slugging whiskey on her way to a lonely grave
that wayfaring waif showed us thе way
said, “live brand new each day and feed your hеad”
“follow your bliss, use burma shave”

[chorus]
rocky byways, those were my ways
driving all night, down the one*lane highways
singing field hollers for the music scholars
those were the days, best i can recall
[verse]
many years in the gloom, we got a motel room
one bed for us and the other one for the chicken
tried laying out flat but it didn’t feel right
so we sat in the car all night, drinking coffee
talking ’bout driving and picking

[verse]
next day, we played us a gig at the piggly wiggly’s
roy acuff and*a minnie pearl were there (howdy!)
they said, “there’s something ’bout this band”
they shook our chicken’s hand, now chicken’s gone
got to carry on, more room in the car

[chorus]
rocky byways, those were my ways
driving all night, down the one*lane highways
playing dismal hollers for abysmal dollars
those were the days, best i can recall
those were the days, best i can…
recall
