sHoulda been gone down the road
shoulda happened a long time ago
i tried i really did
i had the same dream since i was a kid
but  here i am alone,
i got no band
trapped like a heavy stone
same broken guitar in my hand
all these townie folks i just cant stand

oh i shoulda been in San antonio
shoulda been in mexico, deep down below
i know some boys singin in peru
its something iwanted to do
but  here i am alone,
i got no band
trapped like a heavy stone
same broken guitar in my hand
all these local folks i just cant stand

what do these people know?
about the torture of a gypsy music soul?
they all seem so fine
living life one baby at a time
but it drives me crazy
it all always will
i cant stand none of these folks
the music is my only escape still

 but  here i am alone, 

i got no band
trapped like a heavy stone
same broken guitar in my hand
all these local folks i just cant stand
