Lost Trailers The Battery Lyrics

The Battery Lyrics

I woke up on The Battery on a Charleston Friday night 

With my
dirt-stained Corduroys and Balances crumpled up by my side

I said goodbye
to my company, then I shook it on down the line

Sometimes I get a little
lonely, and wish I hadn't left her behind



(Chorus:)

'Cause
every highway bears a bright sign, posted on the side of a roaring world 

And every passerby rolls back again, and in the end, you get what you're
looking for

So just give me my good friends, And a good hearted woman 

Just give me some high times to fall back on 

Sometimes I might need a
cool drink and the good Lord to save me 

Then I will be found, then I
will be found



Ran out of gas on the freeway, 'bout a quarter mile
from Abilene

That Texas sun just-a hung in the sky, smiling on me

A
stranger stopped named Casey, said he's a friend of a friend of mine

He
said, "It shore is a small world." I said, "It suits me just fine."



(Chorus)



Well they put me in a jail cell before a race in
Bristol, Tennessee

Don't you go to Sully County if you want to be free

But there are two ways you can take things, you can make them right or keep
them wrong

So I kept my mouth closed and played Dominoes 'til the judge
sent me home



(Chorus)



So just give me my good
friends

And a good hearted woman 

Just give me some high times to
fall back on 

Sometimes I might need a strong drink 

And the good
Lord to save me 

Then I will be found, I will be found
