Lyrics

There’s a long road down south a ways, they call it A1A

The pavements hot, the traffic’s bad, it’s the same most every day

If you walk all the way to the end of the pier, the sun set is the best

No better place to stop and rest, than a bar in old key west

I stepped inside a crowded room, I thought I’d wait outside

Before I turned she waved me in, I just about nearly died

Her hair was red, she smiled wide, she said her name was Boo

I stayed awhile met her friends, what else was I to do

Spent most my life drivin’ lotsa roads, don’t like sittin’ still

Still got plenty of eight tracks left call me over the hill

No regrets, no second thoughts

Losers lose and winners win

Fun was fun but times are changin’

Lovers love and sinners sin

She said she liked to drink a bit, I told her I did too

It grew late the crowd dispersed,           the night just really flew

The next day came, my head sure hurt, decided to sleep in

Knew it was a gamble, but I hoped I’d finally win

I knew her ma would surely tell her, girl that man is trash

We made a plan, we’d hit the road, but first we needed cash

A few weeks passed, she seemed unfazed I hoped she still would go

She quit her job, packed a bag and headed for the show

Spent most my life drivin’ lotsa roads, don’t like sittin’ still

Still got plenty of eight tracks left call me over the hill

No regrets, no second thoughts

Losers lose and winners win

Fun was fun but times are changin’

Lovers love and sinners sin

A train was slow, a bus might work, I knew that wouldn’t do

I hotwired an old chevy truck, painted powder blue

We made it to the county line, before the sun had set

Now that’s the story I told the kids of how mom and dad first met

Spent most my life drivin’ lotsa roads, don’t like sittin’ still

Still got plenty of eight tracks left call me over the hill

No regrets, no second thoughts

Losers lose and winners win

Fun was fun but times are changin’

Lovers love and sinners sin
