Jared Rogerson - Side Of The Road

SIDE OF THE ROAD

(Verse 1)
I've driven a million nails, that's no stretch at all
Stood up more walls than I can recall
And they keep out the rain and snow for them fine folks
While I'm out here on the side of the road

(Verse 2)
I remember those days when payday came round
I'd buy the drinks and I'd paint the town
Then I'd slip into my warm soft bed, I surely wasn't alone
Back before I lived on the side of the road

(Verse 3)
Never thought much about 50 hours a week
I'd put in a couple more just for staples and drinks
Working late one night alone on a jacked up plastic ladder
Drug my ass down the side of the road to the medical center

(Verse 4)
No health insurance, workers comp wasn't able
To get me fixed back up, they's paying me under the table
So I got pills to ease the pain, go get some rest I was told
Now I'm beggin' for change to get my fix on the side of the road

(Bridge)
It's a heavy load
On the side of the road, whoa

(Verse 5)
Now you can cut out a coupon and go simply redeem it
But it's tough to find some help when you so desperately need it
And my kids, now they won't talk to me cause I let em down
My wife found a new man with a big ol' house on the outskirts of town

(Verse 6)
I've driven a million nails, that's no stretch at all
Stood up more walls than I can recall
And they keep out the rain and snow for them fine folks
While I'm out here on the side of the road
