That Big 5-0

Lyrics

Yeah!
 Bring me water, bring me coal
 We just missed hittin' that telephone pole
 Yeah, we're fallin' down in a cactus patch
 When it get dark, you light the match
 Yeah, and I'm happy for it
 Keep a-rollin' down that dusty road
 Time to lighten up this load
 No regrets, no should've-beens
 Salvation waits for those who sin
 Don't confuse the driver,
 Gotta bottle it up and goand
 Chorus:
 Head for that big 5-0
 Headed towards that big 5-0
 Now, read the map, tell me how come
 Interstate 49 jumped to 51
 Yeah, somebody musta skipped that thing
 Yeah, but we're on it now, and the mystery's closin' in
 Midnight see the moonshine lightin' up the sky
 Headlights on the highway, jus' hear the wind outside just sigh
 Chorus:
 Movin' towards that big 5-0
 Headed towards that big 5-0
 Now, who's that scarecrow I do see
 In the mirror lookin' back at me
 Some things you gotta take your shot
 Half work out and half do not
 The nickel laughs when it gets tossed
 Yeah, we're bangin' on that drum now
 And shake that rattlesnake
 We're plowin' through 'til sunup,
 Oh, just tryin' to stay awakeand we're
 Chorus:
 Headed towards that big 5-0
 Headed towards that big 5-0
 Repeat and fade:
 Big 5-0
