lyrics

Goin' down the road feelin' bad
I ain't gonna be treated this way

Goin' where the water tastes like wine
I ain't gonna be treated this way

Playin' music on the road feelin' bad
playin' music on the street just to get a bite to eat
I ain't gonna be treated this way

When the Rail Yard Ghosts came to town
When those travel folks came to town
I don't know about you
but I don't mind havin' them around
I sure do like being treated this way

The sink is always empty when they're here
I don't care how they dress
at least they clean up their own mess
that's more than I can say for any of you

Say what you will about our smell
We are livin pretty well
we might be a little hungry
but at least we're living free
I ain't gonna be treated this way

The neighbors always gotta ruin our fun
I think they're just jealous 'cuz we're young
They are really bored
so they call the land lord
and say "those dirty kids are singin' songs again"

I don't like that landlord
I don't like that land ownin' man
He comes to the show
says we can't play songs no more
and I aint gonna be treated this way

So I'll hit the road and I'll feel bad
I'll keep an eye out for that police man
When you're livin' your dream
people look at you like your crazy
I ain't gonna be treated this way
