Skynard told me, when I was young To live my life but to live a simple one Lord knows I've tried but I took a different road Life can be a mess or beauty can take your breath But I've had to carry a heavy load Simple livin just ain't that simple Easy livings just not for me I've had to fight, run, steal and swindle My dogs barking up a different tree They say not to judge a book by it's cover But with me you will discover What you see is what you get So run away with me lover We got a lot of ground to cover We can be on the horizon before you even ash that cigarette I live in shades of grey not always black and white Even stars reflect day in the dead of the night Im the type of man that's gotta know what's behind every closed door I don't have a plan I just always find myself searching for more Hit the road with me babe and let's go and find out Leave this small town and learn what life is all about They say not to judge a book by it's cover But with me you will discover What you see is what you get So run away with me lover We got a lot of ground to cover We can be on the horizon before you even ash that cigarette Take my hand babe and follow my lead On the open road slow just ain't my speed We'll slash ourselves a brand new path Just keep on driving til we're out of gas Well go see **** ain't nobody seen We'll hold back smiles so we can try to look mean Then we'll laugh at ourselves in some shitty motels Surviving on nothing but smokes and caffeine They say not to judge a book by it's cover But with me you will discover What you see is what you get So run away with me lover We got a lot of ground to cover We can be on the horizon before you even ash that cigarettSkynard told me, when I was young To live my life but to live a simple one Lord knows I've tried but I took a different road Life can be a mess or beauty can take your breath But I've had to carry a heavy load Simple livin just ain't that simple Easy livings just not for me I've had to fight, run, steal and swindle My dogs barking up a different tree They say not to judge a book by it's cover But with me you will discover What you see is what you get So run away with me lover We got a lot of ground to cover We can be on the horizon before you even ash that cigarette Life is shades of grey not always black and white Even stars reflect day in the dead of the night Let's Hit the road with me babe and let's go and find out Leave this small town and learn what life is all about They say not to judge a book by it's cover But with me you will discover What you see is what you get So run away with me lover We got a lot of ground to cover We can be on the horizon before you even ash that cigarette Take my hand babe and follow my lead On the open road slow just ain't my speed We'll slash ourselves a brand new path Just keep on driving til we're out of gas Well go see **** ain't nobody seen We'll hold back smiles so we can try to look mean Then we'll laugh at ourselves in some shitty motels Surviving on nothing but smokes and caffeine They say not to judge a book by it's cover But with me you will discover What you see is what you get So run away with me lover We got a lot of ground to cover We can be on the horizon before you even ash that cigarettee
