West Texas Highway |
Now I was driving down |
A West Texas highway |
I saw a hitchhiker |
And his thumb was pointing my way |
He didn’t look suspicious |
And he didn’t look any too clean |
I put on my brakes |
And I opened my door |
I could tell he was a bum |
By the muddy boot he wore |
He said I’m going down to Haskell |
Got a woman down in Abilene |
He said East Texas |
Is where I come from |
I was working a rodeo out there |
And it sure got humdrum |
So I’m just traveling around |
A whole lot of Texas I’ve seen |
I’m mighty glad |
You were going my way |
In your brand new clothes there |
And your great big Chevrolet |
I’m going down to Haskell |
Got a woman down in Abilene |
Well he was grinning like a possum |
And a mighty happy rascal |
And he waved good-bye |
When I let him out in Haskell |
And that’s about the last |
Of that old road tramp |
I ever did see |
But I’m still wishing |
To this very day |
That he had my clothes |
And my big Chevrolet |
And it was me going to Haskell |
With a woman down in Abilene |
