"Yohio" lyrics

"Yohio"

All the roads in this town
All lead the same way
If you like tryin' to make a dollar
Out of diggin' your own grave

Half burnt cigarettes and old regrets
I know it all so well
It's kinda hard to get ahead
When you're growin' up in hell

Well I'm packin' my bags
Gonna head down that line
Like those freight trains and airplanes
And diesels rollin' by

Just like a hound dog runnin'
Don't know where, but know I'm gonna go
To get that engine chuggin'
While I set out on the highway hummin'

Yohio
I'm leavin'
For my soul
I'm searchin'
The open road
I'm leavin' here
Tonight

This old town
Ain't got nothin' left for me
Except for ninety-nine bad habits
And one liquor store to grieve

Gonna hit that dusty trail
Gonna ride that lonesome road
From the great wide open
To the Gulf of Mexico

From the rugged Red Rock canyons
To the California Pines
Through them rollin' Rocky Mountains
Down that Oregon coastline

Gonna climb the highest mountain
Raise a fire into the night
Take a trip out in the desert
While I'm howlin' at the moonlight

Yohio
I'm leavin'
For my soul
I'm searchin'
The open road
I'm leavin' here
Tonight

Well I'm gone
Well I'm gone
I ain't never runnin' home

Like the stars in the sky
I ain't never gonna die

Well I'm packin' my bags
Gonna head down that line
Like those freight trains and air planes
And diesels rollin' by

Just like a hound dog runnin'
Don; t know where, but know I'm gonna go
To get that engine chuggin'
While I set out on the highway hummin'

Yohio
I'm leavin'
For my soul
I'm Searchin'
The open road
I'm leavin' here
Tonight
