Lyrics New Cut Road - Steve Earle
Coleman
Bonner
was
a
fiddle
playing
fool
A
backwoods
rounder
and
a
breaker
of
mules
Coleman
Bonner's
got
a
wore
out
bow
He's
been
playing
two
days
down
the
new
cut
road
Coleman's
little
sister
said
you
better
act
right
Coleman
Daddy's
gone
to
Louisville
he'll
be
back
tonight
He's
going
to
get
another
wagon
and
a
good
pair
of
mules
And
we
going
to
move
to
Texas
we
just
waiting
on
you
Coleman's
daddy,
he
pulled
up
in
the
yard
He
said
pack
up
you
lives
kids
it's
getting
to
hard
Kentucky's
alright
but
there's
too
many
people
Just
the
other
day
I
thought
I
saw
a
church
steeple
Coleman
said,
daddy,
don't
you
worry
about
me
I'm
going
to
stay
here
in
Kentucky
till
the
day
I
dee
I'm
going
to
drink
that
sour
mash
and
race
that
mare
Gonna
find
that
woman
with
the
fox
red
hair
Y'all
been
moving
west
since
the
day
you
go
married
Well
I'm
getting
off
the
wagon,
daddy,
I'm
too
old
to
be
carried
I'm
going
to
stay
here
in
Kentucky
where
the
bluegrass
grows
And
I'm
going
to
play
it
all
night
down
the
new
cut
road
Coleman's
daddy
said
now
what's
it
all
coming
to
Young
people
these
days
are
just
as
stubborn
as
mules
You
can't
make
him
go,
he's
too
old
for
that
It's
that
damned
old
fiddle
and
that
bowler
hat
Coleman's
mama
said,
oh,
let
the
boy
stay
He's
raised
up
solid
and
he
can
find
his
own
way
But
as
for
me,
honey,
I'm
with
you
I
always
thought
Kentucky
was
just
passing
through
Coleman's
little
sister
started
in
a
crying
And
his
daddy
shook
his
head
for
the
very
last
time
Coleman's
mama
said,
somebody's
got
to
do
it
There
wouldn't
be
no
Kentucky
Unless
you
didn't
stick
to
it,
Coleman
Coleman
Bonner
stood
on
the
porch
of
that
cabin
And
watched
em
all
go
to
Texas
in
a
covered
wagon
He
pulled
out
his
fiddle
and
rosined
up
his
bow
And
played
a
little
tune
called
the
New
Cut
Road!
