The Old New Straitsville Blues

Broke down again on Refugee Road
with smoke comin' out of the hood.
The man at the station says
“Maybe broke down for good.”
The corn was high and so was I
between the smoke, and the shine, and the pills.
I put my thumb out on Route 33
for a ride through the Hocking Hills.

When I get tired of these hard times
paying the traveler's dues
I'm gonna settle down in a Southern Town
with the old New Straitsville Blues

I circled back to Circleville
to find me a girl or two
One of them wouldn't jump out of the fire
so I knew what I had to do
I put my knee down on the frozen ground
and I stole that girl from town
Nobody cares to see my face
when I come back around

So many miles behind me
how many more to go?
Last night somebody offered the jug
I said "no son, I've had enough.”
