Telephone Road — текст песни (Steve Earle)

My brother jimmy, my other brother jack

Went off down to houston and they never come back

Mama wasnt gonna let her baby go yet

But there aint nobody hirin back in lafeyette



Im workin all week for the texaco check

Sun beatin down on the back of my neck

Tried to save my money but jimmy says no

Says hes got a little honey on telephone road



Chorus:

Come on come on come on lets go

This aint louisianna

Your mama wont know

Come on come on come on lets go

Everybodys rockin out on telephone road



Telephone road is ten miles long

Fifty car lots and a hundred honky-tonks

Jukebox blastin and the beer bottles ring

Jimmy banging on a pinball machine



Chorus



Mama never told me about nothin like this

I guess houstons bout a big as a city can get

Sometimes I get lonesome for lafeyette

Someday Im goin home but I aint ready yet



Chorus
