Lyrics
TWO DOLLAR TRAIL
Chorus:
I'm walking down that TWO DOLLAR TRAIL
One bet away from riches or a good long stretch in jail
The ponies are in my blood and at home my name is mud
From walking down that TWO DOLLAR TRAIL
Verse 1:
I used to own a diamond ring and a shiny Cadillac
A big house out in suburbia with a swimming pool out back
Now I have to walk to work from a cold water flat
All because of that TWO DOLLAR TRAIL
Chorus: Repeat
Verse 2:
If you see me on the street, try hard not to laugh
I know that I am responsible for exactly where I'm at
Every time I swear that I am never going back
Walking down that TWO DOLLAR TRAIL
Chorus: Repeat
