verse 1

Headin down south on 75 barely had enough to keep us alive

I wasn't much more than seventeen but I had a guitar and we were very mean

Verse 2

Richard told me to not go back but I'm hard headed and busted the jack

Now I'm stranded in downtown Dallas with my best friend and a stripper named Alice.

Chorus- Repeat

Slowly but surely we'll put up a fight

Verse 3

Some time ago it stuck in my head you can taste it or waste it before your dead

So give it to me straight you can't stand all those lies you don't have time for me to get it right

Chorus Repeat

Collaboration on www.riffworld.com via Rifflink.  Thanks to Jim from GA and Les from Fl for great Electric Guitar backing and solo tracks.  Joshua from Kansas for Bass licks.  Lyrics and Vocals were written over a couple of riffs and then the song was completed and arranged by each member of the collaboration. Song has been posted by permission of each contributor, this song deserves more ears to hear it than sitting in one web site going stale. I hope you like it too.
