Lyrics

rolling through memphis 3 in the morning
whiskey bottle by my side
i'm a long gone daddy
she's my sweet sugar momma
but i never could walk the line
couldn't walk the line
i'm a long gone daddy who never could walk the line

car broke down half way to Oklahoma
guess i'll have to leave it behind
took the last drink from my bottle
now i gotta thumb a ride
gotta thumb a ride
well i ain't walking so i guess i better thumb me a ride

c.
now i can't have no fun
i'm all out of rum
i just smoked my last cigarette
i ain't got a dime to my name
but being poor ain't killed me yet
it ain't killed me yet
well i'm a long gone daddy
bought as long gone as you can get

picked up by a trucker outside of Joplin
his name was bobby Mcgee
he took us all the way to Tulsa
man we was riding for free
we was riding for free
my sweet sugar momma me and bobby mcgee

rolling down the highway singing johnny cash
and old hank williams songs
talking bout all the women we've loved
and all the ones who did us wrong
you know they did us wrong
yeah they did us wrong
we were moaning them old hank williams songs

got to the show a few minutes late
you know i never ever makes it on time
people waiting round just to get in
like their standing in a welfare line
standing in line
yeah standing in line
i don't mind waiting I'm never gonna stand in line

took sweet momma out of her case
and lord i plugged her in
gave her a strum and she sounds so good
oh lord it should be a sin
it should be a sin
she sounds so good oh lord it should be a sin
