Songtext von Clovis Highway

It's a hundred degrees and I'm digging this ditch That sun's beating down like a Son of a Bitch And my shadow is the only shade in sight I could have been a doctor, a lawyer, or an engineer But I chose instead to make a career Out of blaming other people for the problems in my life Give me my freedom, take back your money Don't you listen to that old wind blow There's a storm cloud rolling down that Clovis Highway It's heading my way And I just might go Well, it's hard to look up when you're always staring down At your foot on a shovel dividing the ground And all your dreams just fade into a wish You know I'd like to straighten up, get my life on track Start moving ahead, but it's a well-known fact That you're always going backwards when you're digging a ditch
