Letra de Telephone Road

[Verso 1]
My brother Jimmy, my other brother Jack
Went off down to Houston and they never come back
My mama wasn't going to let her baby go yet now
But there ain't nobody hiring back in Lafayette
I'm working all week for the Texaco check
As sun beating down on the back of my neck
I tried to save my money but Jimmy says no
Says he's got a little honey out on Telephone Road

[Coro]
Come on, come on, come on let's go
This ain't Louisiana your mama won't know
Come on, come on, come on let's go
Here everybody's rocking out on Telephone Road

[Verso 2]
Telephone Road is ten miles long
Fifty car lots and a hun-hundred honky-tonks
Jukebox blasting and the beer bottles ring
And Jimmy banging on a pinball machine

[Coro]

[Verso 3]
My mama never told me about nothing like this now
I guess Houston's 'bout as big as a city can get
Sometimes I get a lonesome for Lafayette
Someday I'm going home but I ain't ready yet

[Coro]
