Ragged Old Truck [Bill Joe Shaver Cover]

Early one mornin' without any warnin'
I took me a look at myself
I've seen how this married up life I've been livin'
Was trying to choke me to death
Laid on the bed with my gun to my head
And I nearly 'bout ended it all
But I come to my sense just before I got killed
And I blowed me some holes in the wall

I'm thinkin' about crankin' my ragged old truck up
And haulin' myself into town
I'm thinkin' about raisin' so doggone much hell
That I'll die before I live it all down
I lay around this place 'til I'm blue in the face
And I may as well be underground
I'm thinkin' about crankin' my ragged old truck up
And haulin' myself into town

A honkytonk gal in a honkytonk band
With a honkytonk man on my arm
May be as ugly as an old mud-rail fence
But I'm loaded with hillbilly charm
Yeah it's my plan, and no man of mine's gonna tell me
I can't go and have me some fun
So before that old asshole comes back in from Waco
You can bet your rear-end I'll be gone

I'm thinkin' about crankin' my ragged old truck up
And haulin' myself into town
I'm thinkin' about raisin' so doggone much hell
That I'll die before I live it all down
I lay around this place 'til I'm blue in the face
And I may as well be underground
I'm thinkin' about crankin' my ragged old truck up
And haulin' myself into town

I'm thinkin' about crankin' my ragged old truck up
And haulin' myself into town
