Trouble on the road
But I'll give it one last try
Couldn't shake the law
No matter how hard I tried
The devil's got ahold
Momma always said
Southbound to the saddle
Was the only life ahead
Honey, there's no telling
Where a troubled man might go
Crossed the Mississippi delta
Held up in Mexico
Nights spent on the road
Nowhere to call my own
I might be on the run
But you're the only one who bring me home
Honey, there's no telling
What a troubled man's been through
Ducked down countless alleys
When the city lights turned blue
Rails up to Tacoma
Catalina won't be true
Southbound to the saddle
What's a city boy to do?
