Rollin' down the road in the heart of Texas
Drivin' band playin' country western
Drivin' all night trying to make the next gig
Sure ain't gettin' any rested
With the highway below and the Lord above me
On the telephone sayin': Don't cry, honey
Tryin' to make enough to keep the motor runnin'
Sure I ain't in it for the money
This ain't check cashin' country
Ain't check cashin' country
Nights are gettin' long and the miles are showin'
Life of a country rock and roll band
Lookin' out for the highway patrolman
Love to stick around, we got to go man
Wake up to the sound of the tires on the highway
Pull into a truck stop, poured me a coffee
Lord knows the miles that have gone behind me
Sure I ain't in it for the money
This ain't check cashin' country
Ain't check cashin' country, naw-ha
