"Eyes shiny diamonds, teeth crystal meth" - Rylan Brooks, Friend of the Road

lyrics

Friend of the Road
By Nate Rylan & Chris Brooks
ASCAP 2018

48 hours, no sleep
Got a ways to go, got a schedule to keep
I got 18 tons of all kinds of fun
Got a monkey on my back riding shotgun

Turn off the lights and turn on the engine
Light a cigarette with the paper I’m spending
I’m in the back row burnin’ gas
What do you know?
Who do you ask?
Who’s the babe?
She’s a battleaxe
And who takes the cash….for a friend of the road?

Friend of the Road!

Starin' at the sun till my eyballs blister
Playin' ‘eights and aces’ with an old lot lizard
Well she snuck up behind me, scared me half to death
Eyes shiny diamonds, teeth crystal meth

Oh No!
I’m a bout to explode
I keep the rhythm in the back with the disco
Yeah, turn off the radio,
Come in from the cold
You know I’m always pullin’ over….for a friend of the road

Friend of the Road!
