'Cause this is where the Freebirds

If you don’t know by now,
we always get our way.
That’s the way it is down

Baddest street in the whole USA

Terry Gordy is dead now, sadly. Buddy Roberts is having some health issues I think. Jimmy Garvin is an airline pilot. Michael Hayes is still working in the bidness for WWE, I think.
They won’t be needing their old house, so I’m buying it. Last one on the right.
Bad Street, Baby.
Anytime.
2 more road/highway songs:
Highway 40 Blues by Ricky Skaggs
