Hank Williams Jr Brothers Of The Road lyrics

We all go on a two month tour
Nearly work ourselves sick
Now we don`t know were all the money goes
But we sure ain`t gettin` rich
And I think if that men in New York and L.A.
Are givin` us the old run around
Ya bring 50,000 home and he says your overdrawn
It`ll just about get you down
Just about get you down

Chorus:
But we keep on pickin`(Keep on pickin`)
And we keep on singin`(Keep on singin`)
And we try and try to get high so we can keep on grinin`

Oh you wish you had a home and someone of your own
to love you when you get back in town
But this kind of life don`t talk to a wife
It`ll just about get you down
Just about get you down

Keep on pickin`
Keep on singin`
(Repeat x2)

Yeah you got fortune and fame and a well known name
Oh your really flyin` high
Whether your rock or country or blues or funky
We`re all made the same inside
Livin` in fear of the later years
When nobody`s gonna want you around
Yes the brothers of the road all share the same load
and it`ll just about get you down
If you let it it`ll bring you down

You gotta keep on pickin` (Keep on pickin`)
You gotta keep on singin` (Keep on singin`)
And you try and you try to stay high
so you can keep on grinin`

You spend a lot of time alone and talkin` on the phone
to the latest love that you`ve found
Then cry over the girl you really wanted in your world
It`ll just about get you down
If you let it it`ll bring you down

Just keep on pickin` (Keep on pickin`)
Just you gotta keep on singin` (Keep on singin`)
You gotta try and try to stay high
So you can keep on grinin`

Livin` in fear of the later years
When nobody`s gonna want you around
Yes the brothers of the road all share the same load
And it`ll just about get you down
Lord it`s got a lot of us down

But I will keep on pickin` (Keep on pickin`)
I`m gonna gonna keep on singin` (Keep on singin`)
And I`ll try and try to stay high so I can keep on grinin`
I`m gonna keep on pickin` (Keep on pickin`)
Boy I`ll do it
Gonna keep on singin` (Keep on singin`)
You gotta try and try my music keeps me high
I`m gonna keep on grinin`

I`m gonna keep on pickin`
Keep on grinin`
Keep on singin` (Keep on singin`)
I don`t have to try and try to stay high
I`m gonna keep on grinin`
