Lyrics
It’s a two-lane crossroad town
A place for lost souls to breakdown
Worlds apart from the interstate
Don’t stay too long, it’ll be too late
Sneaks up on ya, like a snake without a rattle
Man, livin’ round here, it’s a hardscrabble
Friday night we’re all cursin’ and disheveled
Lookin’ like a dust cloud walkin’ in
Tired ‘n lean, a bunch of barstool rebels
Everybody’s hungry for a win
Ya gotta be tough, just to keep in that saddle
Man, livin’ round here, it’s a hardscrabble
How the hell’d we wind up here
Livin’ for black coffee and beer?
Got a woman, a porch, and some stars at night
She loves me like it’s gonna be alright
Now the creek’s gone dry, we got nothin’ but gravel
Man, livin’ round here, it’s a hardscrabble
Hey bartender, whiskey on the double
There’s a devil of a dust storm rollin’ in
Damn the luck, it ain’t worth the trouble
But I’m still hungry for a win
Ya gotta be tough, just to keep in the battle
Man, livin’ round here, is a hardscrabble
Yeah, livin’ round here, it’s a hardscrabble
Had our plans to get up and go
Now the only thing we’re gettin’ is old
