lyrics

Well there were too many people on the pickup crew
I heard they canned a few illegals and the foreman too
but that's alright
cause I got better things to do than makin all this money for you

I had a hundred fifty dollars on my final check
I bought a bucket of tobacco and a new backpack
I said goodbye
I hung my thumb out on the interstate to catch an inexpensive ride

And I was ridin in the backseat of a minivan
until the driver let me out down at the fillin stand
he said I smelled, I said oh well
Now every car that's passin sees me but they could not give a care in hell

So I went walkin down the highway for a couple days
Until a sheriff out in Waco said I could not stay
He roughed me up
He ran my name
I said I guess I'll take my chances on the chance to catch a passin train

So now I'm gone to Louisiana on an open freight
I got my cigarettes and bourbon, it'll be okay
It's all okay
Well anywhere I hang my hat I only hang it for a couple days
