 GREENVILLE TO BATON ROUGE (Hood / DBT)

 One more night, one more show, four down, eighty-four to go
 This ain't no time for moving slow

 Greenville to Baton Rouge
 I'll call you up when I get through
 The life I live is the life I choose
 Greenville to Baton Rouge

 The shows have sure been great this year
 All eight cylinders all twelve gears
 Call you up when I touch down at the airport in a Louisiana town.

 Street survivors, feeling no pain
 A little more rock, a little less cocaine.
 And don't forget about Stevie Gaines

 Greenville to Baton Rouge
 I'll call you up when I get through
 If it's the last thing that I do
 Greenville to Baton Rouge

 Last night, you should have seen this plane. The right engine shot a
 twelve foot flame.
 But South Carolina made us glad we came.
 Now we're up in the air again.

 Once we hit Louisiana, baby, I don't care
 Got a brand new airplane waiting for us there
 Give this piece of shit back to Aerosmith.
 Wake me up when we get there.

 The right engine gave a little flash, the pilot panicked and dumped the
 gas
 Everything is quiet, we're dropping fast.
 When we touch down gonna whup' his ass!

 Greenville to Baton Rouge
 Can't die now got a show to do
 The life I live is the life I choose
 Greenville to Baton Rouge.

 (One more for the mules…)
