Lyrics
Sunshine beating on the good times
Moonlight raising from the grave
String band playing worn out honky-tonks
Pretty young thing going dancing in the rain

High-heel lady spitting at the Nickajacks
Businessman with a needle and a spoon
Coyote chewing on a cigarette
Pack o' young boys going howlin' at the moon

Hey, darlin'
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey, darlin'
Running through the trees, honey
Hey, darlin'
Leaving for the next town
Less'n my sense catches up with me

Three dead in a crash on the number four
Two witnesses below and up high
Not sure whose will be done
You can call me a sinner for wondering why

Hey, darlin'
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey, darlin'
Running through the trees, honey
Hey, darlin'
Leaving for the next town
Less'n my sense catches up with me

Corn liquor tastes sweeter in this town
Could it be it's the same as the last?
I swear I've seen your face elsewhere before
Just as familiar as a bottle and a glass

Hey, darlin'
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey, darlin'
Running through the trees, honey
Hey, darlin'
Leaving for the next town
Less'n my sense catches up with me

Hey, darlin'
Sleeping on the blacktop
Hey, darlin'
Running through the trees, honey
Hey, darlin'
Leaving for the next town
Less'n my sense catches up with me

Less'n my sense catches up with me
