The highway

Well I made a promise I'm gonna keep
Haul him down from Montana and bury him beneath
those pecan trees

Living out of a toe sack ain't easy
But I guess it's been done before
Ain't got no money in my pockets
Ain't like I've never seen poor
I've seen harder times and I've seen lower times
I've seen days I thought I would never make it alive

So I'll do it on my own, I'll do it the hard way
Even if I have to walk across the Lone Star state
Yeah I'll do it on my own, I'll do it the hard way
Crawl across the blazing desert like a rattlesnake
I'll do it the hard way

And these old boots they're wearing mighty thing
And the sun is begging me to give in
But I'm tougher than nails, yeah Captail Call always wins
And I know I'll see that Rio Grande River again
Cause I saw the Red, and I crossed the Colorado
And I know that Lonesome Dove, it can't be much farther

So I'll do it on my own, I'll do it the hard way
Even if I have to walk across the Lone Star state
Yeah I'll do it on my own, I'll do it the hard way
Crawl across the blazing desert like a rattlesnake
I'll do it the hard way
