Between Jennings And Jones

I left Montgomery on North 65
 I was restless and ready to give Nashville a try
 I rolled into town with a sound of my own
 Somewhere between Jennings and Jones
 Well, the day job I landed felt just like a jail
 I couldn't seem to break out with that hammer and nails
 And I spent all my nights in some old honky tonk
 Somewhere between Jennings and Jones
 Hangin' out in the bars with the drunks and the stars
 I found a few good ol' boys just like me
 Started burnin' our candles both ends and the middle
 A bunch of roarin' outlaws at high speed
 And they said that the end of that road I was on
 Was somewhere between Jennings and Jones
 Well, some record executives found me one night
 I was singin' half-lit, they said it sounded just right, right
 Put my name on an album but they shelved all my songs
 Said I was somewhere between Jennings and Jones
 Hangin' out in the bars with the drunks and the stars
 And a few good ol' boys just like me
 Burnin' our candles both ends and the middle
 A bunch of roaring outlaws at high speed
 And they said that the end of that road I was on
 Was somewhere between Jennings and Jones
 Now to find me in a record store won't take you long
 I'm right there between Jennings and Jones
