Written by Tennessee Dixon

lyrics

I was going 95 in a 45
up the curb and straight into the street light
I watched my life flash right before my eyes
Good God won't you compromise
I said take it easy Baby
Take it as it comes
There ain't nowhere to hide now Honey
There ain't nowhere to run
I went down to the cellar Lord knows I was high
had me a bottle of bourbon and I'd hit upon the sly
I'd pray to Sweet Jesus all I'd get was the spins
Now Lord I'm on the side of the road dying
I said take it easy Baby
Take it as it comes
There ain't nowhere to hide now Honey
There ain't nowhere to run no Ma'am
There ain't nowhere to run
I was driving out to Dallas to face my demons
I ran into the devil Lord knows I ain't leaving
can't you see now Baby that I'm sick with sin
and that's where the hell I am
Well I wake up every morning fore the sun comes up
I put a little bourbon in my coffee cup
I go to work cause that's all I've ever known
and there ain't no short way home
I said take it easy Baby
Take it as it comes
There ain't nowhere to hide now Honey
There ain't nowhere to run no girl
There ain't nowhere to run
