[ti: Telephone Road]
[length: 03:53]
[00:14.66]Rain came down in endless sheets of thunder
[00:22.37]Lightning bolts split pine trees down to the roots
[00:29.11]In the shadow of the Astrodome
[00:32.88]With a hurricane coming on strong
[00:36.25]We used to hit the streets and go swimming in our birthday suits
[00:44.41]Skiing in a bar ditch behind a moped
[00:51.63]13 stitches on the corner of a sardine can
[00:58.61]We were dirt poor Houston kids
[01:02.07]Our whole family living on the skids
[01:06.10]But we always had a nickel for the coming of the ice cream man
[01:13.69]Mosquito truck blowing up DDT
[01:17.59]Barefoot heathens running wild and free
[01:21.12]Air raid buzzer at a noon-day scream
[01:24.73]Living in a dream
[01:27.38]On Telephone Road
[01:35.15]I used to love them cherry Cokes down at the Prince’s Drive-In
[01:42.64]And the cheeseburgers tasted so good I like to come untied
[01:49.60]There’s a Chinaberry tree I remember
[01:53.69]I used to climb in and out of my window
[01:57.62]The night I left was on the day before my Grandma died
[02:05.28]Sawdust spread out on a dance hall floor
[02:08.96]Jukebox ripping at an all-out roar
[02:12.62]Barmaid smiling at a 10 cent tip
[02:16.31]Living is a trip
[02:18.92]On Telephone Road
[02:27.19]Magnolia Garden bandstand on the very front row
[02:34.07]Johnny Cash Carl Perkins and The Killer putting on a show
[02:42.05]Six years old and just barely off my daddy’s knee
[02:48.34]When those rockabilly rebels
[02:50.81]Sent the Devil running right through me
[02:56.45]A drive-in movie in the trunk of my car
[03:00.20]One-eyed sailor in an ice house bar
[03:03.98]Spit-shine Charlie and ol’ Peg-leg Bill
[03:07.56]Are dressed up fit to kill
[03:10.28]On Telephone Road
[03:17.94]Telephone Road, Telephone Road
[03:26.18]Barbecue and beer on ice
[03:29.52]A salty watermelon slice
[03:33.15]At the Little Taste of Paradise
[03:35.96]On Telephone Road
[03:42.11]Year of Release: 2001
