Standing in the trenches
And swinging for the fences
Locked on and clocked in
I ain't coming to my senses
From religion or expenses
Or the runs that I ain't knocked in
I'll take the best
You have to offer and improvise the rest
Then do it again tomorrow
Keep your hands out of the coffers
And always do your best
And we'll probably let you follow
We got three hours till daylight
Locked and loaded for the drive
You gotta know who you can trust
And whose ass you should bust
When it's hard to tell the difference
When to put it to the test
And when to lead with the left
And what it takes to go the distance
What it takes to go the distance
When you live so far from home
Determination and persistence
When the first punch has been thrown
Our forefathers used to brave
The mighty ocean's wave
For the things that were denied them
Sailed far away from home
Without cellular phone
While the dragons swam beside them
They built cities shore to shore
For their grandson's to explore
With just the Northern Star to guide them
Traveled all across this land
In our Econoline Van
And did our best to stand beside them
Passing out at the party
And waking up alone
What it takes to go the distance
When you live so far from home
What it takes to go the distance
When you live so far from home
What it takes to go the distance
When you live so far from home
Drive-By Truckers are an American band of alternative country music based in Athens, Georgia. Although three members out of six (Mike Cooley, Patterson Hood and Shonna Tucker) are originally from the Shoals region of Northern Alabama, the band has deep roots in the Southern US music scene. Their sound is characterized by a "three axe attack", meaning three guitars alongside bass and drums. Like many other alternative country acts, the Drive-By Truckers record in analog (using 2 inch tape). Unlike most of their contemporaries, however, they have consistently pushed their labels to also release their records on vinyl. Some of their most representative songs include "Decoration Day", "The Boys From Alabama" and "Carl Perkins' Cash".
