Lyrics Tucumcari - Goodnight, Texas

Tucumcari

Gonn' run away to Tucumcari
Make camp where the land is bare
Gonn' run away to Tucumcari
Ain’t no one gonna find me there
Ain’t no one gonna find me there
Found trouble in the town I come from
Left six months ago or so
I had to run from the man I wronged there
With no aim as to where to go
And I’m told that the law ain’t there yet
And the ones who tried are dead
If the lawmen come to find me
I’ll make that river red
I’ll make that river red
Gonn' run away to Tucumcari
Kick dust up the riverbed
In the shadow of the Spanish fortress
I’ll lay my weary head
To an Indian girl I’ll marry
On a calico horse we’ll ride
I won’t leave until I’m dead and buried
With the silver in the mountainside
Gonn' run away to Tucumcari
Kick dust up the riverbed
In the shadow of the Spanish fortress
I’ll lay my weary head
To an Indian girl I’ll marry
On a calico horse we’ll ride
I won’t leave until I’m dead and buried
With the silver in the mountainside
Gonn' run away to Tucumcari
Make camp where the land is bare
Gonn' run away to Tucumcari
Ain’t no one gonna find me there
