Almost There - Chris Knight

A busted bottle on the railroad tracks

Walkin' and talkin' to that monkey on my back

Catch that monkey try to throw him down

But the monkey think it’s funny just ridin' around

Down the road goin' nowhere

Down the road almost there

Ain’t nobody livin' at the (Clinch?) Hotel

Devil done been there took all my friends to Hell

Hadn’t been in the jail house he woulda got me

Seen a black flag flyin' from a live oak tree

Down the road goin' nowhere

Down the road almost there

Seen my mama last night she was sittin' by my bed

Worried 'bout you son was the only thing she said

Ten years now mama been gone

She’s still tryin' to teach me what’s right and what’s wrong

Down the road goin' nowhere

Down the road almost there

Down the road goin' nowhere

Down the road almost there
