“Road Dog Blues” is the 11th studio single from Brock Bushong & The Still Shakes, a raw, road-worn anthem capturing the highs and lows of life on the move. It’s a song about chasing something bigger, even when the road takes its toll.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
My oh my, it gets tough out on the road
It’s hell to pay almost every day with the songs that you wrote
You lose your ass while you losing’ touch.
It gets easy so they say.
But till Texas Monthly writes me up, it’s Ramen every day
Verse 1
My oh my, it gets tough out on the road
It’s hell to pay almost every day with the songs that you wrote
You lose your ass while you losing’ touch.
It gets easy so they say.
But till Texas Monthly writes me up, it’s Ramen every day
Verse 2
On my way to Spain today
Another strange affair
I’ve got shows to play and more bills to pay in this life of rock ‘n’ roll
And right when you think the stars aline they take it all the way
When the Popo find a warrant for your Drummer in LA
On my way to Spain today
Another strange affair
I’ve got shows to play and more bills to pay in this life of rock ‘n’ roll
And right when you think the stars aline they take it all the way
When the Popo find a warrant for your Drummer in LA
Chorus
Oh, this life ain’t easy
The road dog life ain’t for the weary
You’ll trade your soul just to play the show and when the hooks are in, you’ll probably never win. That’s how the story comes and goes
A road dog’s life that’s rock ‘n’ roll.
Oh, this life ain’t easy
The road dog life ain’t for the weary
You’ll trade your soul just to play the show and when the hooks are in, you’ll probably never win. That’s how the story comes and goes
A road dog’s life that’s rock ‘n’ roll.
Verse 3
TikTok, Facebook here we go another sold out show
It’s hard to see all the butts in seats when you paid for half the show
The merch don’t sell, and the songs are cheap, it gets harder so they so
Buy that asshole still pays 15.50 for beer every day

Chorus
Bridge
There’s no art without pain
There’s no beauty without Shame
And there’s no love without war
And there’s no shows to play because all the music’s free and I can’t take much more
There’s no art without pain
There’s no beauty without Shame
And there’s no love without war
And there’s no shows to play because all the music’s free and I can’t take much more
Verse 4
So here’s a special message for The Man of the hour
The man who changed it all with the little app, some fuel and fire
Although I can’t really say his name
They’d ban me if I did
But that douche bag drives a Bentley
And my truck is stuck in the mud
So here’s a special message for The Man of the hour
The man who changed it all with the little app, some fuel and fire
Although I can’t really say his name

But that douche bag drives a Bentley
