Pick Up Truck

Me and this broken down Chevy
And the Chevy's all covered with dirt
You know that place where I banged up my elbow
It still continues to hurt
Well, I got a little drunk so they tell me
And that's when I fell down the steps
Now it's true that I might be sinking
But I know I ain't gone down yet

So I'll push in my cigarette lighter
And I'll turn on my old radio
Me and this broken down pick up truck
Still got a long way to go
Wyoming up to Montana
California to New Mexico
I'm doin' the best I can, just a travelin' man
Still got a long way to go

Well, my brother he settled in Frisco
Me and him used to buddy around
Now he lives down there with a wife and kid
He's always telling me to settle down
Oh, I would if I could is what I tell him
But I guess he knows it ain't true
'Cause it gets in your blood like a fever does
And there's nothing else you wanna do

So I'll push in my cigarette lighter
And I'll turn on my old radio
Me and this broken down pick up truck
Still got a long way to go
Wyoming up to Montana
California to New Mexico
I'm doin' the best I can, just a travelin' man
Still got a long way to go

Well, I filled the tank with my last ten bucks
Where I'm going ain't too clear
The only thing I know about the future
Is that you just can't see it from here
So I'll settle back like I'm in a Cadillac
Getting ready for what's to come
You know my mother always thought I'd be the president
But I guess I'm just another highway bum

So I'll push in my cigarette lighter
And I'll turn on my old radio
Me and this broken down pick up truck
Still got a long way to go
Wyoming up to Montana
California to New Mexico
I'm doin' the best I can, just a travelin' man
Still got a long way to go
