Burning Hay

Burning the hay day’s flurry’s from club Sixty Eight                               It was said, I would fight a buzz saw, maybe if it crossed me                        Road house blues, old news but never to miscreate                                     For living in the condemnation was never, to be easy                                 You see the fear and loathing came before ever I met                                  Hunter S, for I was driving through decadence to sleazy                            A speakeasy but never was it a black and white bet                                    Cruising route 68 to where rock-n-roll met the road                                   Where hall of famer's played, before they were somebody                          Skillet fried from all the cornbread and your own code                              Fast music, fast cars, fast women all aboard everybody                           Getting to the club was half the fun, so we thought                                      Leaving blue lights behind for they gave us a rash                                      Where the mafia rules and nightly battles fought                                        Walking on glass, the parking lot was as the roadhouse bash                                       Before you hit the door knives, guns flash in the moonlight                       Don’t mess with my brother it could end your life                                     Everything is on the table not coming down to daylight                              Even then, it was only glorified misery, waking again to strife                    Looking through the hole in the wall never wanting to go back                  For all the crosses, beside the road, in hindsight friend                                      Not all made it through, the wrong side of the track                                By the grace of God it was a song with an end
