The Next Thing Smokin' |
Well I live out in Southern Arizona |
I followed an abandoned railroad track |
Trains they used run from Bisbee out to Juarez |
But the copper mines are closed and the trains ain’t comin' back |
This here’s the of stolen ponies |
Rattlesnakes and poison water wells |
Each god-forsaken mile leads right to heaven |
But tryin' to please that woman |
Was hell |
Put me on the next thing smokin' |
Put me on the next train out of here |
This heart ain’t made for bein' brokn |
Well she ain’t my conductor and she ain’t my ngineer |
Put me on the next thing leavin' |
The northern or the southern hemisphere |
Put me on the next thing smokin' |
Put me on the next train outta here I’m bound to ride |
I got my pride |
I’m bound to ride |
I’m bound to ride |
I made it to the ghost town of Hachita |
I got drunk in the Hachita General store |
I passed the place Geronimo surrendered |
Well Geronimo he just couldn’t take it anymore |
I’ll hitchhike from Columbus to El Paso |
Where I can catch an Amtrak or a freight |
I’ve walked 300 miles across these bad-lands (yeah) buddy |
I have made my great escape |
