Drive-By Truckers - Goode's Field Road lyrics

rate me

Honey, take care of the children, make them do as they’re told

I got a meeting in the morning down at the end of the Goode’s Field Road

Nothing much for a man in my position

A man like me don’t last too long in prison

And all those friends down at Police Department

will act like they never had anything to do with me

Started out down at the junk yard taking orders from a moron

And a man my size don’t like taking orders from anyone

Bought myself an old beat up wrecker, built an empire with my labor brains and sweat

But it’s hard to make an honest living and a man takes any help he gets

Nothing much for a man in my position, a second mortgage and three

college kids’ tuition and all them friends that I helped along the way

Will act like they never had anything to do with me

But you and me, we had us some good times and I’ve always been a family

man deep down. Ain’t much a believer of hiring work from “out of state”

but they’ll be asking questions when I’m found. They’ll be asking

questions when I’m found

Honey, take care of the children, pay the house off when the salvage yard gets sold

And you don’t know nothing when the insurance man asks questions

Bout what went down at the Goode&amp;#8217;s Field Road<br />
