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 (Chorus)
