| Rollin' down the road in the heart of Texas
|
| Drivin' band playin' country western
|
| Drivin' all night trying to make the next gig
|
| Sure ain’t gettin' any rested
|
| With the highway below and the Lord above me
|
| On the telephone sayin', «don't cry, honey»
|
| Tryin' to make enough to keep the motor runnin'
|
| Sure I ain’t in it for the money
|
| This ain’t check cashin' country
|
| Ain’t check cashin' country
|
| Nights are gettin' long and the miles are showin'
|
| Life of a country rock and roll band
|
| Lookin' out for the highway patrolman
|
| Love to stick around, we got to go man
|
| Wake up to the sound of the tires on the highway
|
| Pull into a truck stop, poured me a coffee
|
| Lord knows the miles that have gone behind me
|
| Sure I ain’t in it for the money
|
| This ain’t check cashin' country
|
| Ain’t check cashin' country, naw-ha
|
| I hear that tip jars got a jingle
|
| Cause we ain’t got a single on the radio
|
| We make 'em go dance wherever we go
|
| Tryin' to turn a nickel, to solid country gold
|
| It goes T for Texas and Tennessee
|
| We got miles to cover and places to be
|
| The highways' the only kind of life for me
|
| Sure I ain’t in it for the money
|
| This ain’t check cashin' country
|
| Ain’t check cashin' country, naw-ha
|
| No, it ain’t
|
| I hear that tip jars got a jingle
|
| Cause we ain’t got a single on the radio
|
| We make 'em dance wherever we go
|
| Tryin' to turn a nickel, to solid country gold
|
| It goes T for Texas and Tennessee
|
| We got miles to cover and places to be
|
| If y’all don’t two-step, then we don’t eat
|
| Sure I ain’t out here for the money
|
| This ain’t check cashin' country
|
| Ain’t check cashin' country
|
| Country
|
| Country, ohh
|
| Ain’t check cashin' country
|
| No, it ain’t |
