Lyrics for Driving Death Valley Blues

Well, I'm so tired of driving But here comes the highway Don't wanna go cold turkey Ride with me Jesus so high on the mainline It's the last time I'll drive Death Valley Remember her kiss is like kerosene The rest of her, only a memory Don't feel so bad 'cause you made me A picture so clear A picture so clear that it's crystalline Better run to the doctor, girl Run to the medicine Don't wanna go cold turkey I'll be your Napoleon Be your crippled Alexander But don't wanna go up the country Shame there's nothing to hang it on Except for this wreck that you made of me A blackbird singin' a morning song Sing along Sing to the end of a century Sing it Sing it Well, I can't stand the thought of many more miles But I don't wanna go cold turkey Here comes the highway Can't you see what it made me It's the last time I'll drive Death Valley Remember her kiss is a kerosene The exile lives in a memory A scarecrow singin' a morning song Sing along Sing to the end of a century Are you still with me Jesus? So high on the mainline Don't let me go up the country Girl better run Better run for the medicine Don't let me go cold turkey Don't let me go cold turkey Don't wanna go Oh!
