Still Drivin
Paul Cauthen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When′s this break gon' come?
You buy my pickin'
With a big ol′ timpani drum
Stole shelter from the storm
The night my cousin′s baby was born
Some say I'm a wild man
Still drivin′
When's this break gon′ come?
You buy my pickin'
With a big ol′ timpani drum
Oh the school, it wasn't for me
I earned my stripes a different way
I learned to sing harmony
And go play out on the stage
Still drivin'
When′s this break gon′ come?
You buy my pickin'
With a big ol′ timpani drum
I'm still drivin′
I'm still drivin′
I'm still drivin'
I′m still drivin′
I'm a-still, I′m a-still, I'm a-still, I′m a-still drivin'
Still, still, still, I′m a-still drivin'
Still, I'm a-still, I′m a-still, I′m a-still drivin'
Still, still, still, I′m a-still drivin'

He's got a hell of a lot of Waylon. And there wouldn't be the slightest doubt that Waylon would approve.
