I don't need your constant heartache 
All I have is my guitar and you 
I turned thirty one years old today 
All you gave me was that store bought blues 

And I know how that lonesome 
Lonesome road blues can be 
Like a devil race car baby 
Lonesome road comfort me 

I long for those days of simple times 
Day's when guitar strings a cost a dime 
I'm the only one for you there is 
Help me down baby, hell that is yeah 

And I know how that lonesome 
Lonesome road blues can be 
Like a devil race car baby 
Lonesome road comfort me 
Mmm mmmmm 

I sold my soul for a pack of cigarettes yeah! 
Mississippi is where I think my best 
My string is crazy, I keep her sane 
After me baby there's no one to blame 

And I know how that lonesome 
Lonesome road blues can be 
Like a devil race car baby 
Lonesome road comfort me 
Like a devil race car baby 
These ol' blues comfort me yeah
