Lyrics

LACKTOP
MUSIC: ROY MONTROY LYRICS: GLENN KAISER

GOT MY KEYS, WENT OUT THE DOOR
COULD NOT TAKE IT, ANYMORE
ALL THE FUSSIN’, CRYIN’ AND MOAN
LEAVIN’ MISERY, THIS AIN’T NO HOME

WINDOW OPEN, ON THE ROAD
HEADIN’ SOUTH, CARRYIN’ A LOAD
THINKIN’ MEMPHIS, THINKIN’ BLUES
SOMETIMES A MAN, JUST GOT TA CHOOSE

BLACKTOP ROLLS ON SOUTHWARD
SNOW WHITE COTTON IN THE FIELD
SOMETIMES DAYLIGHT COMES TOO LATE
SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO DEAL

I PASSED A TRUCK STOP, PASSED A CHURCH
I PULLED OVER, SOULD NEEDED WORK
FACIN’ PROBLEMS INSIDE ME
ONLY TRUTH CAN SET YOU FREE
I TURNED AROUND, AN’ I ASKED FOR HELP
TOOK DIRECTIONS, OFF THE SHELF
IN A BOOK, I THOUGHT I’D LEARNED
SOMETIMES WISDOM FOLLOWS GETTIN’ BURNED

BLACKTOP ROLLS ON SOUTHWARD
SNOW WHITE COTTON IN THE FIELD
SOMETIMES A MAN GOT TA GET ON HIS KNEES
BEFORE HE’LL EVER HEAL
(BEFORE HE KNOWS WHAT’S REAL)
