Renegade Rhapsody

We finally made it to Phoenix Johnny's singing in the shower We've been waiting for hours to take care of business. Spitting out miles of chewed up road Contraband couriers of another load now our contact doesn't answer the phone Another night in a cheap Motel Here I am again lying to myself promised to quit this business But I had my fingers crossed No rain since Culiacan And my mom is probably wonderin' Where her son's off thunderin' to now This work costs more than it pays pissed away every dollar I made And wore a hole in the pocket of my future. Johnny's dressed just as the telephone rings The voice on the line says Gila Casino Queens Creek One more last time we've beat the Devil It's because we cheat JSB
