Between Jennings and Jones
I left Montgomery on North 65
I was restless and ready to give Nashville a try
I rolled into town with a sound of my own
Somewhere between Jennings and Jones
Well, the day job I landed felt just like a jail
I couldn't seem to break out with that hammer and nails
And I spent all my nights in some old honky tonk
Somewhere between Jennings and Jones
Hangin' out in the bars with the drunks and the stars
I found a few good ol' boys just like me
Started burnin' our candles both ends and the middle
A bunch of roarin' outlaws at high speed
And they said that the end of that road I was on
Was somewhere between Jennings and Jones
Well, some record executives found me one night
I was singin' half-lit, they said it sounded just right, right
Put my name on an album but they shelved all my songs
Said I was somewhere between Jennings and Jones
Hangin' out in the bars with the drunks and the stars
And a few good ol' boys just like me
Burnin' our candles both ends and the middle
A bunch of roaring outlaws at high speed
And they said that the end of that road I was on
Was somewhere between Jennings and Jones
Now to find me in a record store won't take you long
I'm right there between Jennings and Jones
I was restless and ready to give Nashville a try
I rolled into town with a sound of my own
Somewhere between Jennings and Jones
Well, the day job I landed felt just like a jail
I couldn't seem to break out with that hammer and nails
And I spent all my nights in some old honky tonk
Somewhere between Jennings and Jones
Hangin' out in the bars with the drunks and the stars
I found a few good ol' boys just like me
Started burnin' our candles both ends and the middle
A bunch of roarin' outlaws at high speed
And they said that the end of that road I was on
Was somewhere between Jennings and Jones
Well, some record executives found me one night
I was singin' half-lit, they said it sounded just right, right
Put my name on an album but they shelved all my songs
Said I was somewhere between Jennings and Jones
Hangin' out in the bars with the drunks and the stars
And a few good ol' boys just like me
Burnin' our candles both ends and the middle
A bunch of roaring outlaws at high speed
And they said that the end of that road I was on
Was somewhere between Jennings and Jones
Now to find me in a record store won't take you long
I'm right there between Jennings and Jones
