[Verse 1:]
Hot night tonight, I've got a fever in my bones
I don't know what it is that drives me so far away from home
But I've walked the white line til the time that I cannot stand no more
Then I take my boots off and I lay down on the floor.

[Chorus:]
And if you find me by the roadside
Don't be afraid to call my name
And if I seem a bit uneasy
You know that I've only got myself to blame
You know that I've only got myself to blame.

[Verse 2:]
Walking down the road I want to fade into the night
I know I've seen a darker day but have I seen the light
All alone a country song that's burning in my head
I've turned my back on better days but tonight I'll stay in bed.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
Well I turn my head up to the sky and it's down the road I go
I'd tell you where I'm going but it's truly I don't know
And I don't look for no affection, I've always gone alone
When you see me coming home you'll know I'll soon be gone.

[Chorus]
