[Verse 1]
Heading for the Texas border
'Cause I'm trying to avoid the law
Heading for the Texas border
'Cause I'm trying to avoid the law
When I pull right into Houston
Gonna see ya my ma and pa
[Verse 2]
And I'll tell them fancy stories
'Bout all them cities I have seen
And I'll tell them fancy stories
'Bout all them cities I have seen
Well, all away from New York City
Down to, I said a-New Orleans
[Bridge]
But I won't tell 'bout the heartache
And I won't tell 'bout the pain
And I won't tell 'bout the times I had to sleep out in the rain
Well, I'm going to El Paso to get my mojo [?]
Then I'll pack my bags and head out for the North West
[Breakdown]
[Verse 3]
I got a gal in Dallas
I got a gal in Yucca Flats
I got a gal in Dallas
I got a gal in Yucca Flats
Well, there's [?]
With a 50 inch Chesire cat
[Verse 4]
[?] to Texas
I do all the travelling, man
[?] to Texas
I do all the travelling, man
Well, with that I'll say good-bye, friend
Till I pass your way again
[Verse 5]
Well, I don't know where I'm going
And I know I just don't care
But I've got to keep on ramblin' 'fore I find my self somewhere
Where the sheriff knows the number
And the people, well, they know my kind
So, I'll hit the road the way a travellin' man can
Unwind
[Breakdown]
