lyrics

I keep strumming the words, slurring the chords
The price you pay for 40 days on the road
Up all night, drive all day
Looking like the dead and smelling like the grave
I’ve got a bad, bad feeling
It’s taking it its toll
Burning the midnight oil

The churning Choctaw skies over Tulsa tonight
Are letting loose on the leaky roof of some shithole dive
Seven miles to where the rooms are cheap
Towers in the distance like the city’s sharpened teeth
It’s a bad, bad omen
City’s gonna swallow me whole
Burning the midnight oil

Wish I had a woman in this fifty dollar room
Under the influence and over the moon

I’m sick of pacing up and down the crooked hallways of my skull
Carpet’s a jealous shade of green, your picture’s tilted on the wall
Hide in the day, howl in the dark
Got me a 60 watt head but a 40 watt heart
And a bad hangover, crooked soul that won’t surrender
Till I lose control
Burning the midnight oil

Roll into town, try to wring out a dollar
Only business booming here is the funeral parlor

The destination I’m heading ain’t on a map
The ringing in my ears is a sharp E flat
Rise above before I sink below
My past in my rearview but my eyes on the road
And it’s time to burn rubber
Before my blood starts to boil
Burning the midnight oil
