[Verse 1]
Highway 87 is a dangerous place to be
When you [] off all the local boys
And your back's against the sea
The cops all know your number
The bars all know your name
After six straight months of drinkin' boy
You ain't never gonna be the same
Well I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I can't remember when
[Refrain]
I may not know where I'm goin'
But I sure know where I've been

[Verse 2]
Well the sheriff he been watchin' every move that I make
And one of these days hе's a-gonna arrest me
For all the timе I take
The local girls all act
Like I just ain't their kind
Paintin' on their precious nails
And wastin' their sweet minds
Well I'd give half of Texas if I could find a friend
[Refrain]
I may not know where I'm goin'
But I sure know where I've been
[Verse 3]
Well the coast is disappearin'
As they line up on the beach
Doin' all those little things
That Sunday School don't teach
Jim Beam by the fire, cocaine in the stash
Baseball bat on the floorboard
Shotgun on the dash
And you may lose your mind
And go walkin' round the bend
[Refrain]
You may not know where you're goin'
But you'll sure know where you been

[Verse 4]
Highway 87 is a dangerous place to be
When you [] off all the local boys
And your back's against the sea
The cops all know your number
The bars all know your name
After six straight months of drinkin' boy
You ain't never gonna be the same
Well I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I can't remember when
[Refrain]
I may not know where I'm goin'
But I sure know where I've been
