I started drifting cause I could get no rest
I headed to El Paso to open up the west
The stars were bright there and they blinded me at night
I left my heart there just taking in that sight
It was easy come - hard to go
I've been picking up bad habits on the road
Out here we make 'em up as we go
I've been picking up bad habits on the road
Like easy come - and hard to go - it's hard to go
My luck did run out before I could meet the sea
Sierra Nevada that spelled the end for me
The stars were bright there and they blinded me at night
I left my heart there just taking in that sight
It was easy come - hard to go
I've been picking up bad habits on the road
Out here we make 'em as we go
I've been picking up bad habits on the road
Like easy come - hard to go - it's hard to go
