Lyrics

Now?s the time to shake these blues take me down my walkin' shoes
The bags are packed I'm headin' to the place I was before
There'll be one less row to hoe it's been long and it's been slow
Only thing I've got to show is a path worn in the floor

It's a hard road to travel to walk the straight and narrow When you know what's waitin' for you somewhere just beyond that door A better life I saw much quicker on the draw
Livin' on the outside of the law

Now Jesse robbed and Billy killed and Granny Clampett kept a still
But it's been mainly lack of will that finds me in this cell
And the voice that used to scream out ?Why?!? has just become a muffled cry
And party to the kind of lie that makes this life a hell

And no matter how they'd try they would never bring me in
With my six pack at my side I'd know every place to hide would be Golden

We only go 'round once or twice at times it's bad at times it's nice
At times we pay a bigger price than we ever meant to pay
I'm at the post my course is set I?ll smoke me one last cigarette
Commence to sing ?Je ne regrette...? and set out on my way
