Everybody's rocking out on Telephone
 Road.
-------------------- 


Telephone Road is ten miles long.
Fifty car lots and a hundred Honky 
Tonks.
Juke box is blasting and the beer 
bottles ring.
Jimmy banging on the pinball 
machine.

Chorus

Mama never told me about nothing 
like this.
I guess Houston's about as big as 
the city can get.
Sometimes I get lonesome for 
Lafayette.
Some day I'm going home, but I ain't
 ready yet.

Chorus 2X

end with intro  riff.
