| Caught me a bus early today
|
| Hours before my dinner time
|
| Packed my case on the early shift
|
| And I left this shack behind
|
| Oh I said I left this shack behind
|
| You may think I done wrong
|
| The police may think so too
|
| But I’m sick and tired of this crumbling life
|
| I said I’m doing what I gotta do
|
| Lord I said I’m doing what I gotta do
|
| Say goodbye to Rachael Anne
|
| Tell her that I had to go
|
| Tell her she can borrow my tractor if she wants
|
| All the way down to El Paso
|
| Singin’all the way down, all the way down to El Paso
|
| People there, so I’ve been told
|
| Treat you like a man
|
| Who don’t creep 'round your house at night
|
| Or mutilate your lambs
|
| Oh I said, mutilate your lambs
|
| Rachael Anne, if you can
|
| You’ll know where to find me
|
| Follow the tracks I left back there
|
| All along the highway
|
| Lord I said all along the highway |
