W. TX Teardrops |
| Well the roadmaps 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 lie |
| I’m rolling West Texas teardrops in my eye |
| Though I felt a lonesome feeling |
| In Dulce, New Mexico |
| I 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 lie |
| I’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 keep |
| I 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 roadmaps 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 lie |
| I’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 lie |
| I’m rolling West Texas teardrops in my eye |
| I’m rolling West Texas teardrops in my eye |
| Yeah, I’m rolling West Texas tear… drops in… my eye… |
