Rumble on the Highway

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Woke up this mornin' with a rumble down below, My stomach started talkin', said, "Boy, it's time to go," I grabbed a cup of coffee, thought I'd ease into the day, But twenty minutes later I was runnin' all the way. A cold sweat on my forehead, knees shakin' as I walk, Every little bubble got a whole lot to say and talk, My belly says, "Right now," my pride says, "Hold on tight," But they're losin' that argument with every step tonight. [Chorus] Bubble guts, bubble guts, knockin' on the door, Ain't got time for waitin', can't hold it anymore, Open up that bathroom, somebody let me through, 'Cause bubble guts don't care about the things you gotta do. Bubble guts, bubble guts, burnin' like a flame, Everybody's laughin' but we've all played this game, When the bowl comes callin', buddy, you don't get to choose, You're just along for the ride when you've got bubble gut blues. [Verse 2] Standin' in a gas station, waitin' in a line, One guy's readin' magazines and wastin' all my time, Every fart's a gamble, every step's a risky bet, And the worst part of the story ain't happened to me yet. The pressure keeps on buildin', like a dam about to break, I start negotiatin' with the Lord for goodness' sake, "Just get me to the toilet and I'll straighten up my ways," Funny how a stomach ache can make a man pray. [Chorus] Bubble guts, bubble guts, knockin' on the door, Ain't got time for waitin', can't hold it anymore, Open up that bathroom, somebody let me through, 'Cause bubble guts don't care about the things you gotta do. Bubble guts, bubble guts, burnin' like a flame, Everybody's laughin' but we've all played this game, When the bowl comes callin', buddy, you don't get to choose, You're just along for the ride when you've got bubble gut blues. [Bridge] Open the door! Open the door! This ain't a drill anymore! Stomach growlin' like a thunderstorm, I'm one bad cough from total harm. [Final Chorus] Bubble guts, bubble guts, racin' to the throne, Never feels like trouble till you're halfway from home, The bathroom's lookin' prettier than anything I've seen, Like a neon sign from heaven shinin' down on me. Bubble guts, bubble guts, that's the way it goes, Sometimes life comes at you faster than you know, So if you see me runnin', don't ask where I'm headed to, Just know I'm fightin' for my life with these bubble gut blues. [Outro] Yeah, bubble gut blues... Lord, have mercy... Somebody spray some air freshener.
