Lyrics:
Back road off the highway just a few miles from my home
I’ll take you my way did you hear about
Oh no, there it is again
Keeping me up all night long
Calling out for one more round
I’ve been good, I swear, about keeping off the bottle
Sober in mind past those clouds in my eyes
Oh no, there it is again
Running to the end of the bar
Saying, “play just one more song”
Oh the moon’s too bright
I can see the light
You can quote from the words of the dead if you please
Coming down with ease
Hey Mister, did I get your name?
What’s that poison running through your veins?
Hey, bartender, can I have the same?
And don’t 2am always come too soon
Back road off the highway on my way back home
I’ll take you my way, did you hear about
Oh no, oh no, oh no
There it is again
Swerving down the road
Singing all the songs I know
Hey, DJ, just give me the note
