ORIGINAL LYRICS
There's a dirty piece of cardboard
That reads Montgomery Ward
Taped across the window of my old Ford
A six-pack on the front seat, and a box of chicken wings
I'm dialin' 'cross the radio for a song that I can sing
I'd better change my wanderin' ways
I know I've seen my better days
Always gettin' high when I get low
Well, I left my soul out in the rain
Lord, what a price I've had to pay
Storms of life are washin' me away
An old mail pouch, tobacco sign
Fadin' on the barn
Bringin' back sweet memories of Mama's farm
When love was just a country girl, that lived on down the
road
You know, she almost had me turned around
But that was years ago
I'd better change my wanderin' ways
I know I've seen my better days
Always gettin' high when I get low
Well, I left my soul out in the rain
Lord, what a price I've had to pay
Storms of life are washin' me away
Yeah, the storms of life are washin' me away
