I grow up in texas on the great high plains A silvertone guitar was all i had to my name At seventeen i left and i never looked back Yeah just me and my guitar and my pontiac Well i never went to college but i got a degree From a honky tonk university Hey i'm a road scholar i gotta make my music I was born to sing and play Yeah i'm a road scholar how i love to hear the wheels whine Rolling down that old highway Well the roadhouse was my schoolhouse That's where i paid my dues I got a master's in rhythm and a minor in soul And a phd in the blues My teachers were the killer and the hound dog man My classmates consisted of a five-piece band Yeah my dormitory was a string of cheap hotels But i survived it all and i'm alive and well Although i never went to college... [ guitar ] Hey i'm a road scholar i gotta make my music...
