lyrics

Mama, you know I done wrong. I never go to church. I'm always smoking reefer and I'm bound to get hurt.

I never get tired of the road. You never get no sleep. As long as people dance, your whiskey is free.

When I'm in the city y'know it's hard to find smoke, but if you live in the country, you best give up all your hope.

When I'm in the country, I can pay my bills, but if you live in Richmond, they don't let you keep no still.
