    Lyrics!
    I'm going to rocky island
    To hell honey ho
    I'm going to rocky island
    And never coming home
    From old Montana until Alabama
    I've been before and I'll try it again
    You traveling women can't
    Keep a good man down
    You dealt the cards but you missed a play
    So hit the road and be on your way
    Wanna board that golden rocket
    And leave this town
    My lover begins and I'm running on time
    But honey I'm switching to another line
    No one's going to hang
    The signal hat for me
    I'm tired of running and I'm sick of tracking
    Got a one way ticket and a woeful back
    Going to board that golden rocket
    And leave this town
    Short life of trouble
    A few more words to leave
    Short life of trouble little girl
    And the whole world to see
