   Last year we went to London and Paris, Texas
  We went on a bus tour, the great Texas honky tonk tour
  Here are some snapshots about life on the road.....
  
  Let me tell you 'bout the life I lead
  It ain't all it's cracked up to be
  Of what you been told, 'bout life on the road
  Rolling round in a painted bus,
  Just so y'all can look at us
  Life on the road
  
  You pack your clothes and your shaving kit
  Some extra socks and those pants that fit
  Check 'em for holes, life on the road
  Everything you pack is black, washed it all upon your back
  For life on the road
  
  Climb on board the bus and grab your bunk
  One on the bottom is the one you want
  Less rock and roll as you roll down the road
  Plug John Wayne in the VCR
  Let the driver tell you where you are
  Life on the road
  
  You get a bed and a TV set, you get an ashtray for your cigarette
  You get HBO, well that's life on the road
  Get one down on the bottom floor,
  Hang a do not disturb sign on the door
  Life on the road
  
  You get clean sheets and a wake-up call
  Don't go up north in the spring and fall
  But not when it's cold, that's no life on the road
  Coffee black with pie a la mode
  That's what you want before the show
  Life on the road
  
  Tonight we're playing that high school gym
  They're all drunk before I even begin
  They're hollering "Pissin' in the Wind"
  Life on the road
  
  The local band opens up for us
  Now the PA's got a real big buzz
  Life on the road
  
  The good news is I get to sing my songs
  The bad news is they all sing along
  And they're singing wrong notes
  Ahh, life on the road
  
  But if I stop, it won't be long
  Before they're singing someone else's song
  Life on the road
