There's two weeks of road ahead now
Three days have passed along
Well, I'm a long way from California
Gasoline, a guitar and this song
It's a devil's dream that dies by the dozen
Paid my dues in the sweatin' beer and the lights
With these highs and lows and everything in the middle
Keep my woman, better get my money right
Every night, every day, I'm alone
There's good and nice and then there's wicked ones
Under the shadow, light disappears
And there's two cowboys cackling in the corner
Close my eyes, gonna check on outta here
There's another town will take you in the morning
Time will [tease], no waiting for the roads to dry
Well, I will leave it all in the rear-view mirror
Put the pedal to the metal 'til the early morning light
Every night, every day, I'm alone
Every night, every day, well I get stoned
I'll eat dinner in a room in a dark saloon
And that's half my money spent
I got plans and schemes and a-hopes and dreams
But our dreams don't pay the rent
Baby, it a-hurts to be alone
Bay, baby, [all] my dreaming home [tonight]
Get my family on the phone
Come on, woman, bring me home tonight
Every night, every day, I'm alone
Every night, every day, lord I get stoned
Every night, every day, I'm alone
