It aint easy puttin up with
A road dog with a cup with
A little Jack in it
You talk about the backseat
I dont know, dont ask me
How she sat in it
She carried my burdens and paid my bail
Put a Tennessee breeze in my Carolina sail
And set me free
I dont pray much anymore
For this old troubadours
Happiness, wishes, wants and needs
End of my ropes, hopes and dreams
Spend my livin giving thanks
For the ships I never sank
Every big, every little in the every day things
The notes and the words and the songs I sing
To the ones doing life with me
Coulda easily said goodbye to
This runaway train youre tied to
I know I dont get it
Baby, how you roll with it
The fists and the fights and the scars of the battle
The ups and the downs of the judges gavel
Howd you wind up in my unravel?
I dont pray much anymore
For this old troubadours
Happiness, wishes, wants and needs
End of my ropes, hopes and dreams
Spend my livin giving thanks
For the ships I never sank
Every big, every little in the every day things
The notes and the words and the songs I sing
To the ones doing life with me
Youre my faith in the grace every sunrise brings
Set me free
I dont pray much anymore
For this old troubadours
Happiness, wishes, wants and needs
End of my ropes, hopes and dreams
Spend my livin giving thanks
For the ships I never sank
Youre my faith in the grace every sunrise brings
Every big, every little in the every day things
The notes and the words and the songs I sing
To the ones doing life with me
