Road 99
Seems like there's just ain't no point in doing anything
Each time I drive my John Deere home
To a phone that never rings
And each time i haul the diesel down
Right past the county line
I see her face in every damn road sign
On that old road 99
I sit and think about happy times
When I was still her man
I drink and shake and smoke and look
At my own trembling hands
The only good I had in life the liquor drove away
I saw her leave in a truck that wasn't mine
Down that damn road 99
It ain't easy to hold on
But it's harder to let go
And I can't pull myself together
I can't believe that she ain't mine
And that she left me behind
When she took road 99
I get up early and I work my fingers to the bone
But every night when I get home
I'm sitting there alone
And each time I drank that whisky down
I'm drinking to forget
And I see her smile, and I drink until i'm blind
And I curse the 99
It ain't easy to hold on
But it's harder to let go
And I can't pull myself together
I can't believe that she ain't mine
And that she left me behind
When she took road 99
Took road 99
She took road 99
Road 99
Road 99
