Well the road maps of |
|
West Texas never gave me good advice |
|
The trains all roll where the roads don't go, now |
|
I lay awake at night |
|
Just wondering where the rest is so |
|
I hit that iron gate |
|
And I yelled good-bye to that wife of mine, |
|
I may be running late |
|
I'm a-rolling on, |
|
I'm a-rolling on |
|
Rolling out past |
|
El Paso Texas, where |
|
I might have had a home |
|
I made my bed, so here |
|
I lieI'm rolling |
|
West Texas teardrops in my eye |
|
Though I felt a lonesome feeling in |
|
Dulce, New |
|
MexicoI was happier than |
|
I'd ever been in my |
|
El Paso home |
|
But I thought about the woman whom |
|
I left to roam the land |
|
And I cried so much it dug a rut they call the |
|
Rio Grande |
|
I'm a-rolling on, |
|
I'm a-rolling on |
|
Rolling out past |
|
El Paso Texas, where |
|
I might have had a home |
|
I made my bed, so here |
|
I lieI'm rolling |
|
West Texas teardrops in my eye |
|
And my destination is written upon my feet |
|
And the stars above are about the only company |
|
I keepSo raise my pass and take my seat |
|
I'm rolling fast with a teardrop on my cheek |
|
So I guess there'll be no family, so |
|
I guess there'll be no wife |
|
Gonna roll away on an old steel dray, it's gonna be my life |
|
And the road maps |
|
I been reading, |
|
I never came to figure out |
|
All I know is |
|
I'd explode by any other route |
|
I'm a-rolling on, |
|
I'm a-rolling on |
|
Rolling out past |
|
El Paso Texas, where |
|
I might have had a home |
|
I made my bed, so here |
|
I lieI'm rolling |
|
West Texas teardrops in my eye |
|
I'm a-rolling on, |
|
I'm a-rolling on |
|
Rolling out past |
|
El Paso Texas, where |
|
I might have had a home |
|
I made my bed, so here |
|
I lieI'm rolling |
|
West Texas teardrops in my eye |
|
And I'm rolling |
|
West Texas teardrops in my eye |
|
And I'm rolling |
|
West Texas teardrops in my eye |
