I've been beat up bad, I've been kicked around 
I've been thrown out of every old bar in this dang town 
- this old town 
I guess they don't like the way we like to have our fun 
'cause I'm always out there and I'm on the run 
and I'm runnin' and a gunnin' and a lookin' for a real good time 

I've done so much trip I can't look you in the eye 
even though I's tryin' to find that umltimate high 
and I was hangin' out with my good friend, and his name is David Allan Coe 
Well I was runnin' real hard, and he was runnin' real fast
and we got caught up, up there at the pass
but we ended up at this bar on the side of that road  

I've been beat up bad, I've been kicked around 
I've been thrown out of every dang bar in this old town 
- this old town 
I guess they don't like the way we like to have our fun 
'cause I'm always out there and I'm on the run 
and I'm runnin' and a gunnin' and a lookin' for a real good time 

I've done so much trip I can't look you in the eye 
even though I was trying to find that ultimate high 
And I was hanging with my other good friend, his name was Mister George Jones 
Well I was messed up bad, and he was messed up right 
Me and George we sat and talked all night 
About the good times and how country music's lost it's soul

I've been beat up bad, I've been kicked around 
I've been thrown out of every dang bar in this old town 
- this old town 
I guess they don't like the way we like to have our fun 
'cause I'm always out there and I'm on the run 
and I'm runnin' and a gunnin' and a lookin' for a real good time
