about

This is the true story of how my brother TC and myself started our careers together.........

lyrics

Road Warriors

I was barely 15 and still just a kid
Going to East Tennessee where my sister lived
She was keeping house with a drummer in a band
And I was just a teenage star struck fan
She used to take me down to this bar on the strip
Open up the back door and in I’d slip
Pitcher’s full of beer raised in the air
Rich Mountain Tower on the stage right there

The next thing you know I’m humming down the highway
Econoline Van full of beer and band mates
Interstate 40 East Knoxville bound
Got a gig on the strip gonna burn it right down
TC’s toking on a big fat number
Talking ‘bout Duane and a band of brothers
We were gonna hit it big just like that
Pay our dues and live like crap

Chorus We were Road Warriors
Young and dumb living life on the run
Road Warriors
Fighting our battles like we’d already won

Nobody had any folding money
We were so broke that it ain’t even funny
Didn’t care much about fortune and fame
It’s all about the music remember our name
Roger just said the oil light’s on
Mule just smiles and tries to look calm
We were so high that we didn’t even care
Cause we had enough dope to get us there
Chorus

As I sit down here fighting back the tears
Can’t help but think life ain’t fair
TC’s gone and I’m wondering why
He’s on the big tour bus in the sky
Am I ten feet tall and still bulletproof
The battlefield’s covered in my wasted youth
Let me wrap my hands around a steering wheel
And keep on driving till I can’t feel

Chorus
