The Brother Brothers - Ranch Road 12 Lyrics

Drivin' south on Ranch road 12 again.
Drivin' long into the night.
I don't think I'll make my rent on time.
I hate to prove my landlord right.

I'm twenty miles from highway 35.
Lord I'm Corpus Christie bound.
A couple beers and I'll call Valerie.
She might wanna know I'm back in town.

See I'm tryin'a take it easy.
But this ol' world don't seem to wanna let me.
Feels like somethings always out to get me,
But it aint got me yet.

I used to hitchhike up to Dallas,
Or thumb my way to El Paso,
But now I drive these 18 wheels and load
Anywhere the boss tells me to go.

What he don't know ain't gonna kill him.
See, I found some work out on the side.
Sometimes in life you gotta gamble,
And this time I'm gonna let it ride.

See I'm tryin'a...

Seems like trouble's all around me.
A little ahead, and a lot behind.
And I can't let that trouble find me,
So I gotta keep a movin' down the line.

And when I get there in the morning,
Gonna stick my toes right in the sand.
Cold beer'll wash away the trouble
I can't escape while on dry land.

See I'm tryin'a...
But this damn world...
