I left Montgomery on North 65   I was restless and ready to give Nashville a try   I rolled into town with a sound of my own   Somewhere between Jennings and Jones      Well, the day job I landed felt just like a jail   I couldn't seem to break out with that hammer and nails   And I spent all my nights in some old honky tonk   Somewhere between Jennings and Jones      Hanging out in the bars with the drunks and the stars   I found a few good ol' boys just like me   Started burning our candles both ends and the middle   A bunch of roaring outlaws at high speed      And they said that the end of that road I was on   Was somewhere between Jennings and Jones      Well, some record executives found me one night   I was singing half-lit, they said it sounded just right, right   Put my name on an album but they shelved all my songs   Said I was somewhere between Jennings and Jones      Hanging out in the bars with the drunks and the stars   And a few good ol' boys just like me   Burning our candles both ends and the middle   A bunch of roaring outlaws at high speed      And they said that the end of that road I was on   Was somewhere between Jennings and Jones   Now to find me in a record store won't take you long   I'm right there between Jennings and Jones
