The Long Ryders - Southside of the Story

Southside of the story
I guess we're doin' it wrong
Drivin' round the country in an old Chevrolet
Playing our favourite songs

Southside of the story
We gotta have some time to lend
Driving right round the US of A
The highway never ends
But we got whiskey in our pockets
And we got women on the brain
We're drivin' the road like old Tom Joad
Just to bang an out of tune guitar!

Boston, Detroit, Duluth by the Bay
Giggin in the Capitol Dome
Denver, Dallas, do Dixie in five days
Music made us leave our homes

Jack Kerouac, yeah he's out in the back
Neil Cassidy smiles from above
Symphony Sid is on the radio
Broadcasting out his love

But we got groovin' in our pockets
And we got petrol in our veins
We're drivin' the road like old Tom Joad
Just a band, a night and two guitars

We got pistols in our pockets
And we got freebies on the brain
We're drivin' the road like old Tom Jones
Just to bang an out of tune guitar!

Southside of the story
Hope the highway ends
Bopping round the country in an old Chevrolet
Gigging with my five best friends
Southside of the story
Southside of the story
Southside of the story
Southside of the story
