Lyrics of the day

Ive witnessed those one night stands
Must have played in a thousand bands
But Im just here tonight, tomorrow Ill be gone
Seen folks show their blacker sides
Seen them die just for foolish pride
And those drivers always ask to hear that same old song

Thats a big ten-four
From your back door
Just put that hammer down
This young man feels
Those eighteen wheels
That keep turning round to take me down to shaky town

Ive heard all those hard luck tales
From all of you u.s. males
Ive heard you tell those lies about the love youve known
And Ive followed those highway signs
And Ive run down those thin white lines
Like those drivers this old road is all I call my own

Thats a big ten-four
From your back door
Just put that hammer down
This young man feels
Those eighteen wheels
That keep turning round to take me down to shaky town

All the way down to shaky town

"Shaky Town"
Artist: Jackson Browne
Album: Running On Empty
Year: 1977

My favorite thing about this song is pretending that Jackson sings "easy town" instead of "shaky town". It's definitely a trip. It's got a funky beat. And you can BUG OUT to it.
