Almost There Songtext
von Chris Knight

I bust a bottle on a railroad track
Walkin′ and a-talkin' to that monkey on my back
Catch that monkey, try to throw him down
But the monkey think it′s funny just a-ridin' around
Down the road goin' nowhere
Down the road, I′m almost there
Ain′t nobody livin' in the Krantz Hotel
Devil done been and took all my friends to hell
Hadn′t been in the jailhouse, he would've gotten me
Seen a black flag flyin′ from a live oak tree


Down the road goin' nowhere
Down the road, I′m almost there
Seen my mama last night, she sittin' by my bed
"Worry 'bout your son," was the only thing she said
Ten years now my mama been gone
Still tryin′ to teach me what′s right and what's wrong
Down the road goin′ nowhere
Down the road, I'm almost there
Down the road goin′ nowhere
Down the road, I'm almost there
