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 suits 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
