Long Black Highway lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Long Black Highway lyrics Me and Billy roofers of houses Met at the local union hall It was like I found my long lost brother We drank like fish and worked like dogs Lookin? back I knew he?d get me in trouble But I didn?t have too many friends Runnin up and down that Dixie highway We thought the good times would never end Down that long black highway Theres a deep dark hole Down that long black highway Theres a lot of things you never know We chased women and we chased whiskey From the gulf up to ohio Then one night we ran out of money We robbed us an all night Texaco Right in there I guess the friendship ended That?s where the good times fell apart I remember screamin at billy You shoulda let that kid alone shoulda drove off in the dark Down that long black highway Theres a deep dark hole Down that long black highway Theres a lot of things you never know Well we pulled on a back road I stopped to think about what wed done I got out, took a leak and I lit a smoke Now im wishin I had run Cuz billy always was a mean one And he was stoned on out of his head Well I guess he quit shootin When he thought that I was dead On down that long black highway Theres a deep dark hole Down that long black highway Theres a lot of things you never know I woke up sometime around daylight But I didn?t live long after that I was taken back up to the highway By a ghost he was wearin a Texaco hat Now me and that kid we haunt that stretch of highway And go and see billy from time to time Now billy always acted a little bit crazy But now he?s done gone plumb out of his mind On down that long black highway Theres a deep dark hole Down that long black highway Theres a lot of things you never know song lyrics
