LYRICS
it’s a long road of trouble
been a long road of trouble i seen
such a long road of trouble i seen

shed many tears of sorrow
shed many tears of sorrow you know
so many years of sorrow i’ve known

and i’m rollin down the highway
winding like silver through the red clay
i got an angel and she’s praying
i got a devil and he’s chasing
always got the devil chasing me

i’m leaving alabama
i’m leaving alabama you see
through mississippi and tennessee

cause lord i’m in trouble
lord i’m in trouble you see
and don’t you know i’m just seventeen

and i’m rollin down the highway
winding like silver through the red clay
i got an angel and she’s praying
i got a devil and he’s chasing
always got the devil chasing me
always got the devil chasing me
always got the devil chasing me

on a long road of trouble
on a long road of trouble you know
so look for me if you’re down the road
so look for me if you’re down the road
so look for me if you’re down the road
