Ragged Old Truck - Billy Joe Shaver

作曲：B J Shaver

Early this mornin' without any warnin'

I took me a look at myself good God

I seen how this married up life I been livin'

Was tryin' to choke me to death

I laid on the bed with my gun to my head

And I nearly 'bout ended it all

But I come to myself just before I got killed

And I blowed me some holes in the wall

I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up

And haulin' myself into town

I'm thinkin' 'bout raisin' so doggone much hell

That I'll die 'fore I live it all down

I lay 'round this place 'til I'm blue in the face

And I may as well be underground

I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up

And haulin' myself into town

A honky tonk man in a honky tonk band

With a honky tonk girl on my arm

I may be as ugly as an old mud-rail fence

But I'm loaded with hillbilly charm that's right

It's my life and no wife of mine's gonna tell me

I can't go and have me some fun

So before that old heffer drives back in from Waco

You can bet your rear end I'll be gone

I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up

And haulin' myself into town

I'm thinkin' 'bout raisin' so doggone much hell

That I'll die 'fore I live it all down

I lay 'round this place 'til I'm blue in the face

And I may as well be underground

I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up

And haulin' myself into town

I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up

And haulin' myself into town
