The Lost Trailers - The Battery lyrics
[The Lost Trailers - The Battery lyrics]
I woke up on The Battery
On a Charleston Friday night
With my dirt-stained Corduroys and Balances
Crumpled up by my side
I said goodbye to my company
Then I shook it on down the line
Sometimes I get a little lonely
And wish I hadn't left her behind
'Cause every highway bears a bright sign
Posted on the side of a roaring world
And every passerby rolls back again
And in the end
You get what you're looking for
So just give me my good friends
And a good hearted woman
Just give me some high times to fall back on
Sometimes I might need a cool drink and
The good Lord to save me
Then I will be found, then I will be found
Ran out of gas on the freeway
'bout a quarter mile from Abilene
That Texas sun just-a hung in the sky
Smiling on me
A stranger stopped named Casey
Said he's a friend of a friend of mine
He said, "It shore is a small world" I said
"It suit's me just fine"
Well they put me in a jail
Cell before a race in Bristol, tennessee
Don't you go to Sully County if
You want to be free
But there are two ways you can take things
You can make them right or keep them wrong
So I kept my mouth closed and played
Dominoes 'til the judge sent me home
So just give me my good friends
And a good hearted woman
Just give me some high times to fall back on
Sometimes I might need a strong drink
And the good Lord to save me
Then I will be found, I will be found
On a Charleston Friday night
With my dirt-stained Corduroys and Balances
Crumpled up by my side
I said goodbye to my company
Then I shook it on down the line
Sometimes I get a little lonely
And wish I hadn't left her behind
'Cause every highway bears a bright sign
Posted on the side of a roaring world
And every passerby rolls back again
And in the end
You get what you're looking for
So just give me my good friends
And a good hearted woman
Just give me some high times to fall back on
Sometimes I might need a cool drink and
The good Lord to save me
Then I will be found, then I will be found
Ran out of gas on the freeway
'bout a quarter mile from Abilene
That Texas sun just-a hung in the sky
Smiling on me
A stranger stopped named Casey
Said he's a friend of a friend of mine
He said, "It shore is a small world" I said
"It suit's me just fine"
Well they put me in a jail

But there are two ways you can take things

Just give me some high times to fall back on
Sometimes I might need a strong drink
