Robert Earl Keen - The Road Goes On & On Lyrics

I don't care what you say
I never liked you anyway
Wouldn't give you the time of day
If I had time to spend

Your malicious and downright cruel
Superstitious, so uncool
Best wishes, you loudmouth fool
I hope I never see you again

And you're a regular jack-in-the-box
In your clown suit and your Goldilocks
The original liar's paradox
You'll have to Google that

How in the hell do you think you'll make it
When the real test comes and you just can't fake it
Your sycophants say they can't take it
And leave you lying flat

Well, you started out in the wild wild west
Your ten star pen to your bullet proof vest
I must say we were all impressed
But not as much as you

But your horse is drunk and your friends got tired
Your aim grew weak and uninspired
You robbed the train but your gun misfired
Blew a hole right through your shoe

Yeah, you're a regular jack-in-the-box
In your clown suit and you Goldilocks
All do that up in your cowboy crocs
Singing the same old song

How in the hell do you think you'll make it
When the real test comes and you just can't fake it
Your sycophants say they can't take it
And leave you on your own

Now you only rant and rave
Piss and moan and misbehave
You lost your grip on the flag you wave
But you wave it right or wrong

There's still time to make amends
Maybe win back some of your old friends
Real cowboys say the party never ends
And the road goes on and on, and on
And on and on and on and on
