Sugar lady, be my saviour
'Cause I'm tired, I said, eight days on the road
That's right, I said, eight days on the road
Travelin' through the night
There ain't no town, there ain't no town, there ain't no rest tonight

Broke and busted, standin' on the county line
I've been, I said, eight days on the road
That's right, oh, I said, eight days on the road
Travelin' through the night
There ain't no town, there ain't no town, there ain't no rest tonight

I'm out here thinkin', thinkin' 'bout what I've done
That's why, oh, that's why, I been eight days on the road
That's right, oh, I said-a eight days on the road
Travelin' through the night
I know I'm gone and it won't be long, I'll make Birmingham tonight

I'm makin' it back to you, baby
Makin' it back to you
I'm makin' it back to you, baby
I'm makin' it back to you
