    Story Behind the Song
    there was a bully in my neighborhood, when i was growing up, he jumped me once and threatened me with a blackjack.I was pretty
    naive when i was 13, and i didnt realize that it was a weapon he was holding, so i
    threatened him back with my guitar. I never went anywhere without my Les Paul back then, and those suckers are pretty heavy!

    Lyrics
    My name is Buford, i come from 'round here
    i got a '58 chrysler, and a case of beer
    and i never liked this town let me
    make that clear

    Im one of those old dogs that you cant teach
    I got a head full of dreams, i cant reach
    got a pocket full of bullets,and a loaded gun

    "poor boy, you'll never get what your owed
    out here driving
    driving down river road"

    Buford was the bully of my neighborhood, i never did know him all that good
    one night Buford hit sam, and used his knife
    now he's looking at... 25 to life

    now, Bufords life had been sabotaged
    since he quit school to work at the garage
    now every thing good disappears, like a mirage

    so, i stepped on the gas, and combed my hair
    saw the orange groves, and said a prayer
    now i'm passing up towns
    out in the middle of nowhere

    Poor boy you'll never get what your owed
    out here drivin
    driving down river road

    Driving all night with an aching head
    asleep at the wheel a man could wake up dead
    last night even my wife said

    "poor boy, you'll never get what your owed
    out there driving
    driving down river road
