lyrics
There ain’t nothing but a one lane road
Nothing else in this town
Just a mountain in the distance
It’s the only thing that brings that blazin' sun down
My daddy told me about the crossroads
Used to tell me when I was young
That the only time he made it out
Was when that Army recruiter tried to hunt him down
Cause I’m tired of living
With one hand out and the other in my pocket
And the serviceman said
It’s a hundred miles to Stockton
Met a fellow in San Fran
Used to go to my High School
Now he’s dealing in the city
Nothing else for a poor boy to do
Cause I’m tired of living
With one hand out and the other in my pocket
And the serviceman said
It’s a hundred miles to Stockton
There ain’t nothing to the East side
There ain’t nothing to the South
So I’m taking my pickup truck
Better hope that engine just don’t give out
Cause I’m tired of living
With one hand out and the other in my pocket
And the serviceman said
It’s a hundred miles to Stockton
