[Verse 1]
I been out on that open road
But you can be my full-time daddy, white and gold
Singing blues has been gettin' old
But you can be my full-time baby, hot or cold

[Verse 2]
Dying young and playing hard
That's the way my father made his life and art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road dogs do it, light 'til dark

[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't break me down (Don't break me down)
I been traveling too long (I been traveling too long)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I been tryin' too hard (I been tryin' too hard)
With one pretty song (With one pretty song)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone at midnight (Leave me high)
Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I've got a war in my mind
I've got a war in my mind
(Leave me high)
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't lеave me now (Don't leavе me now)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't say goodbye (Don't say goodbye)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't turn around (Don't turn around)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Leave me high and dry (Leave me high and dry)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
