There's two weeks
Of road ahead now
Three days have passed along
Well, I'm a long way from California
Gasoline, a guitar and this song

It's a devil's dream that dies by the dozen
Paid my dues in the sweating, the beer and the lights
With these highs and lows and everything in the middle
Keep my woman, better get my money right

Every night, every day, I'm alone

There's good and nice
Then there's wicked ones
Under the chatter, the light disappears
And there's two cowboys cackling in the corner
Close my eyes, gonna check on outta here

There's another town will take you in the morning
No time for tears, no waiting for the roads to dry
Well, I will leave it all in the rear-view mirror
Put the pedal to the metal 'til the early morning light

Every night, every day, I'm alone
Every night, every day, oh I get stoned

I'll eat dinner in a room in a dark saloon
And that's half my money spent
I got plans and schemes and a-hopes and dreams
But our dreams don't pay the rent

Baby, it a-hurts to be alone
Baby, baby, all my dreaming home tonight
Get my family on the phone
Come on, woman, bring me home tonight

Every night, every day, I'm alone
Every night, every day, oh I get stoned
Every night, every day, I'm alone
