[Intro: distinct original Holler instrumental opening] [Verse 1: Bubba warm mature male] One thought said boy you'd better run Another said get up and fight I listened to them trading punches Through the middle of the night [Chorus: Bubba male with Darlene female harmony] Two illusions fighting in my head One says go, one says stay in bed Neither gets to drive this truck Or write the ending of my luck I can hear their little quarrel Without joining in the war [Verse 2: Darlene unmistakably female] The highway driver didn't bother me I let that fellow have his lane But the name I'd given my old self Could still pull me back to pain [Bridge: duo trade lines] There's no prize for beating shadows No belt for winning every round I can put my boots on real ground [Final chorus: full Holler Shakers] Two illusions fighting in my head One says go, one says stay in bed Neither gets to drive this truck Or write the ending of my luck I can hear their little quarrel Without joining in the war [Outro: gentle instrumental refrain, clean ending]
