Whitehouse Road Songtext
von Tyler Childers

Early in the morning when the sun does rise
Layin′ in the bed with bloodshot eyes
Late in the evening when the sun sinks low
That's about the time my rooster crows
I got women up and down this creek
They keep me going and my engine clean
Run me ragged but I don′t fret
'Cause there ain't been one to slow me down none yet

Get me drinkin′ that moonshine
Get me higher than a grocery bill
Take my troubles to a high wall
Throw ′em in the river and get your fill
We've been sniffin′ that cocaine
Ain't nothin′ better when the wind cuts cold
Lord it's mighty hard livin′
But a damn good feelin' to run these roads


I got people tryin' tell me ′Red
Keep this livin′ and you'll wind up dead
Cast your troubles on the Lord of lords
Wind up layin′ on a coolin' board′
But I got buddies up White House Road
And they keep me struttin' when my feet hang low
Rockgut whiskey gonna ease my pain
And all this runnin′s gonna keep me sane

Get me drinkin' that moonshine
Get me higher than a grocery bill
Take my troubles to a high wall
Throw 'em in the river and get your fill
We′ve been sniffin′ that cochise
Ain't nothing better when the wind cuts cold
Lord it′s mighty hard livin'
But a damn good feelin′ to run these roads
It's a damn good feelin′ to run these roads

When you lay me in the cold hard clay
Won't you sing them hymns while the banjo plays
And tell them ladies that they ought not frown
'Cause there ain′t been nothin′ ever held me down
Lawmen, women, or a shallow grave
Same old blues just a different day


Get me drinkin' that moonshine
Get me higher than a grocery bill
Take my troubles to a high wall
Throw ′em in the river and get your fill
We've been sniffin′ that cochise
Ain't nothing better when the wind cuts cold
Lord it′s mighty hard livin'
But a damn good feelin' to run these roads
It′s a damn good feelin′ to run these roads
It's a damn good feelin′ to run these roads
