lyrics
Beat out, Broke down, sit at home on the couch
Sit and starin’ at a twelve inch t.v. screen
Been there, done that, had my time, chewed the fat
The liquor on my liver was killin’ me
Been in a van across the U.S.A.
Sittin’ there listenin’ to N.W.A.
All them broke neck, paychecks, flat beds, old hacks
When you finally hit the bottom, I’ll be looking at you from the top
I will have gone a million miles, and I ain’t gonna never stop
Until I see your long brown hair
Then I know I finally made it there
All them brokeneck, paychecks, flat beds, old hacks
Whiskey, coffee strong, stay up driving all night long
Bugs splat the windows as we fly on by
Get hit, who gives a shit, know we’ll never pay for it
With the $6.98 that we made last night
Been in a van across the USA
Sittin there listenin to NWA
All them broke neck, paychecks, flat beds, old hacks
When you finally hit the bottom, I’ll be looking at you from the top
I will have gone a million miles, and I ain’t gonna never stop
Until I see your long brown hair
Then I know I finally made it there
All them brokeneck, paychecks, flat beds, old hacks
Tall trees, sing songs, camp in cars, all night long
A canopy of stars gonna be my dreams
Strum and hum, pick and pluck, you know we always give it up
Still we got a gig down in New Orleans
Been in a van across the U.S.A.
Sittin’ there listenin’ to N.W.A.
All them broke neck, paychecks, flat beds, old hacks
When you finally hit the bottom, I’ll be looking at you from the top
I will have gone a million miles, and I ain’t gonna never stop
Until I see your long brown hair
Then I know I finally made it there
All them brokeneck, paychecks, flat beds, old hacks
