Sugar baby, be my saviour
Cause i’m tired, i’m tired, i’ve been eight days on the road, eh (that’s right?)
That’s right, yes it is, eight days on the road
Traveling through the night
There ain’t no town, there ain’t no town
There ain’t no rest tonight, yeah (uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)
I’m in and busted, standing on the county line (it does)
And that’s why, yeah, that’s why i’ve been eight days on the road, yeah (eight days on the road)
Now, that’s right, yes it is, eight days on the road (it does)
Traveling through the night
There ain’t no town, there ain’t no town
There ain’t no rest tonight (eight days on the road)
I’m here out thinking, thinking, i’m thinking about of what i’ve done (what i’ve done)
And that’s why, yeah, i’ve been eight days on the road, ah (eight days on the road)
That’s right, oooh, eight days on the road
