Headin’ For The Texas Border

Lyrics

[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 pressed 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, then there's old Sally from the Valley With a 50-inch Chesire cat [Verse 4] Well, with this drink, I toast to Texas And to all the traveling men With this drink, I toast to Texas And to all the traveling men Well, with that I'll say goodbye, friend 'Til I pass your way again [Verse 5] Well, I don't know where I'm goin' And you know that I just don't care But I've got to keep on ramblin' Lord, gonna find myself somewhere Where the sheriff knows the number And the people don't know my kind So, I'll hit the road the way a travellin' man can Unwind [Breakdown]
