Dues
I nearly froze in a motel in a Cincinnati slum
When they kicked me out I had no where to go
Felt the dry heat of the devil neath a Bandera sun
With a wind so hot I was begging for the snow
I've been singing these old songs anywhere I can
Half the time for no one in the room
But I've seen the sunrise on the rockies from a window of a van
And I'm just fine with paying these dues
Caught a right hook in the temple on 5 hour show
Those Tulsa boys sure got a wild side
Played every song I knew with still two hours go
Barely made it outta there alive
We broke down just south of Houston still had to pay the band
We got robbed behind a Fort Worth saloon
But stars in Amarillo keep filling up my soul
And I'm just fine with paying these dues
O my body's felt the rumbling of every mile drove
My heart has felt a lonesome wind howl through
And I may scape the bottom but I ain't taking out no loan
No, I'm just fine with paying these dues
Hundred dollars in my pocket, a cowgirl on my arm
I'll stay with her for a week or two
Where the moonlight in Montana sets the meadows all a glow
And I'm just fine with paying these dues
O, from New York to Savannah, down every winding road
You'll fine me out here singing this for you
When they kicked me out I had no where to go
Felt the dry heat of the devil neath a Bandera sun
With a wind so hot I was begging for the snow
I've been singing these old songs anywhere I can
Half the time for no one in the room
But I've seen the sunrise on the rockies from a window of a van
And I'm just fine with paying these dues
Caught a right hook in the temple on 5 hour show
Those Tulsa boys sure got a wild side
Played every song I knew with still two hours go
Barely made it outta there alive
We broke down just south of Houston still had to pay the band
We got robbed behind a Fort Worth saloon
But stars in Amarillo keep filling up my soul
And I'm just fine with paying these dues
O my body's felt the rumbling of every mile drove
My heart has felt a lonesome wind howl through
And I may scape the bottom but I ain't taking out no loan
No, I'm just fine with paying these dues
Hundred dollars in my pocket, a cowgirl on my arm
I'll stay with her for a week or two
Where the moonlight in Montana sets the meadows all a glow
And I'm just fine with paying these dues
O, from New York to Savannah, down every winding road
You'll fine me out here singing this for you
