I've traveled millions of miles Hung with good and bad crowds Been on top, and way down low too Paid off some long over dues Hailed the king and bad news And I've been lonesome a time or two I've been lost in the whiskey Did some runnin' on on empty I've lived hard, it's all in the book But the lines on my face Ain't the miles that you see It's just the route that I took Change some things if I could
I just don't know if I would My roads have been rough and smooth Remember where I came from Just not all that I've done There's not much I haven't lived through I've been lost in the whisky Did some runnin' on empty I've lived hard, it's all in the book But the lines on my face Ain't the miles that you see Well it's just the route that I took Well it's just the route that I took Ohhh Yeahhh
