Headin’ For The Texas Border

[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]
