Well  it's been rough and rocky travelin
But I'm finally standin upright on the ground

And after takin several readings
I'm surprised to find my mind's still fairly sound

I thought Nashville was the roughest
But I know I've said the same about them all

We received our education in the cities
Of the nation me and Paul

Almost busted in Laredo

But for reasons that I'd rather not disclose

But if you're stayin in a motel there and leave
Just don't leave nothin in your clothes

And at the airport in Milwaukee
They refused to let us board the plane at all

They said we looked suspicious
But I believe they like to pick on me and Paul

And on a package show in Buffalo

With us and Kitty Wells and Charlie Pride

The show was long and we'r just sittin there
And we'd come to play and not just for the ride

And we drank a lot of whiskey

So I don't know if we went on that night at all

But I don't think they even missed us
I guess Buffalo ain't geared for me and Paul

Well  it's been rough and rocky travelin
But I'm finally standin upright on the ground

And after takin several readings
I'm surprised to find my mind's still fairly sound

I thought Branson was the roughest
But I know I've said the them same allabout

We received our education in the cities
Of the nation me and Paul
