Jim Morris Twenty Dollar Bills lyrics

They call this road a turnpike
It's hostile combat zone
The state of Pennsylvania
Must own every orange cone
Greasy truck-stop pizza
Leaves me feeling twice my age
But everything's forgotten
When I step out on that stage
And I'm singing my songs
And it's giving me thrills
And they're singing along
And throwing twenty dollar bills
It's the traveling little circus
That we've all been dreamin' of
Just livin' like a gypsy
It's the life that I love
We head to New York City
And the road is full of holes
How many gigs does one band need
To break even on the tolls
Stuck in rush hour traffic
You can feel the burning rage
But everything's forgotten
When I step out on that stage
And I'm singing my songs
And it's giving me thrills
And they're singing along
Throwing twenty dollar bills
It's the traveling little circus

That we've all been dreamin' of
Just livin' like a gypsy
It's the life that I love
Heading down the parkway
Under grey and rainy sky
Is that bridge too low
Or is the bus too high
When the final show is over
We're gonna make that engine whine
Nothing looks as pretty
As that Florida “Welcome” sign
Two weeks on the road
Leaves me feeling twice my age
But I know it won't be long
Before I'm right back on that stage
And I'll be singing my songs
And it's giving me thrills
And they'll be singing along
And throwing twenty dollar bills
It's the traveling little circus
That we've all been dreamin' of
It's livin' like a gypsy
It's the life that I love
And I'm singing my songs
And they're singing along
