Kintner/King - Too Good Lyrics

Taking 10 in Louisiana, it's dark as hell
And rougher is the road
Stopped head first to gamble in Hammond
And to play a show
Pulling out the next morning felt like getting out of jail

One day this interstate is gonna drive me crazy
If I'm not there already
I'm too good for rock and roll, and all the pain it's bringing
But I can't keep from singing

I get a call at the next pit stop, if I can make it to the store
I miss you most of all
You might love me better, but I swear I love you more
You and me baby, we're the ones that this is for

The sound of the charly bars wakes me when I'm sleepy
Lord, don't let me run this thing off the road
If I don't sing tomorrow night it's gonna ruin my whole week
Placing bets with a shoestring on rock and roll

Sometimes in the middle of nowhere, there's only talk radio stations
The miles are twice as long
When the silence hits me the cows start telling me I'm selfish
The cows say that a life ain't worth a song
