A busted bottle on the railroad tracks Walkin' and talkin' to that monkey on my back Catch that monkey try to throw him down But the monkey think it's funny just ridin' around Down the road goin' nowhere Down the road almost there Ain't nobody livin' at the Clinch Hotel Devil done been there took all my friends to Hell Hadn't been in the jail house he woulda got me Seen a black flag flyin' from a live oak tree Down the road goin' nowhere Down the road almost there Seen my mama last night she was sittin' by my bed Worried 'bout you son was the only thing she said Ten years now mama been gone She's still tryin' to teach me what's right and what's wrong Down the road goin' nowhere Down the road almost there Down the road goin' nowhere Down the road almost there
