Won't you scratch my itch sweet annie rich
And [bad word] me back to [bad word] out on your porch or i'll step into your parlor
And i'll tell you how it all went down

Out with the [bad word] and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town

Oh, but i remember something you once told me
And i'll be damned if it did [bad word] [bad word] Twenty thousand roads i went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

'cause i headed west to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with those waves of grain
And i saw my devil,
And i saw my deep blue sea
And i thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to tennessee

We flew straight across that river bridge,
Last night a half past two
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye
And good day as we went rolling through [bad word] and billboards pass by the grievous angel
And now i know just what i have to do

And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
He wants to take my money for something
That i've never been shown

And i saw my devil,
And i saw my deep blue sea
And i thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to tennessee

The news i could bring i met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
And lighted out for some desert town

Out with the [bad word] and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town

Oh, but i remembered something you once told me
And i'll be damned if it did [bad word] [bad word] Twenty thousand roads i went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

Twenty thousand roads i went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
