1
Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the
2
Stage with a Martin guitar and a six pack
3
Yeah and he was the poet of the Lone Star state
4
And I was young enough
5
To think I was good enough to be his opening act
6
And in a cloud of smoke he took another toke
7
And counted one, two, three
8
And I knew right there just breathing his air
9
What I wanted to be
10
[Chorus]
11
Buckaroos and jaded lovers
12
L.A. freeway and redneck mother
13
Mothers who had raised a son so well
14
Talking outlawed, long hair loners and stoners
15
Singing about to come back home and
16
Most likely too far gone to get there
17
Hey, Kix, that was 76
18
That was just enough beer to get us through the set
19
And get as high as our crowd
20
We got 700 miles Jerry, we gotta go
21
You?re out of your mind; you'll never make it on time
22
Why not just have another round
23
Oh, we were trying get paid
24
Just trying to get laid
25
Living on love
26
Sleeping on the stage
27
Just turn another page
28
Never thinking we?d ever grow up
29
[Chorus]
30
Well, the way I recall the 70's
31
We were down in Austin and the establishment were
32
Saying we were wasting our time
33
The next thing I know
34
We were making more money than we could count
35
We?re all being sued by the IRS
36
And having more fun than the law allowed
37
Yeah, I'm talking loners and stoners
38
And sing about to come back home
39
And most likely too far gone to get there.
40
Yeah, they were all most likely too far gone to get there
41
Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the
42
Stage with a Martin guitar and a six pack
43
Tools of the trade son
