[Verse 1]
I, I'm in a kind of foolish game I tried to get rich quick
But I'm going insane
The kind of freaks that hang out on 42nd Street
They're all pimpin’ Judy's and popping speed, well
It's a game of cat and mouse and I think it's got my soul
I think it's time for thinkin’ 'bout a time to roll on down the road
So here I go!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Here come Big Mike, I kinda owe him some beans, well
He must be crazy, I guess that's why he's so mean
If I tell him I'm leaving, he would sure enough split my gut
'Cause he knows I sold to a sucker and I owe Big Mike a cut
But I'll slip him a twenty dollar bill till I get out of town
When I hit those white lines, I'm gonna be gone like a greyhound down the road
Down the road, yeah

[Outro]
It's a long, long road
