Lyrics Headin for the Texas Border - Flamin' Groovies

Headin for the Texas Border

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
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
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
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
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
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
