Lyrics

Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
 And welcome me back to town
 Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor
 And I'll tell you how it all went down
 Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
 And a good saloon in every single town
 Oh, and I remember something you once told me
 And I'll be damned if it did not come true
 20,000 roads I went down, down, down
 And they all led me straight back home to you
 We flew straight across that river bridge
 Last night half past two
 The switchman waved his lantern goodbye
 And good day as we went rolling through
 Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
 And now I know just what I have to do
 'Cause I headed west to grow up with the country
 Across those valleys with those waves of grain
 And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea
 And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee
 The news I could bring, I met up with the king
 On his head an amphetamine crown
 He talked about unbuckling that old Bible belt
 And headed out for some desert town
 Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
 And a good saloon in every single town
 Oh, and I remember something you once told me
 And I'll be damned if it did not come true
 20,000 roads I went down, down, down
 And they all led me straight back home to you
 20,000 roads I went down, down, down
 They all led me straight back home to you
