W. TX Teardrops

(アルバム： Too Far To Care - 1997)

Well the roadmaps of west Texas
Never gave me good advice
The trains all roll where the roads don't go
Now I'm laying awake at night

Just wondering where the rest is
So I hit that iron gate
And I yelled goodbye to that wife of mine
I may be running late

I'm a-rolling on, I'm a-rolling on
Rolling out past El Paso, Texas where I might have had a home
I made my bed, so here I lie
I'm rolling west Texas teardrops in my eye

Though I felt a lonesome feeling
In Dulce, New Mexico
I was happier than I'd ever been
In my El Paso home

But I thought about the woman
Whom I left to roam the land
And I cried so much it dug a rut
They called the Rio Grande

I'm a-rolling on, I'm a-rolling on
Rolling out past El Paso Texas where I might have had a home
I made my bed, so here I lie
I'm rolling west Texas teardrops in my eye
Here we go, now

And my destination is written upon my feet
And the stars above are about the only company I keep
So raise my pass and take my seat
I'm rolling fast with a teardrop on my cheek

So I guess there'll be no family
So I guess there'll be no wife
Gonna roll away on an old steel dray
It's gonna be my life

And the roadmaps I been reading
Never came to figure out
All I know is I'd explode
By any other route

I'm a-rolling on, I'm a-rolling on
Rolling out past El Paso Texas where I might have had a home
I made my bed, so here I lie
I'm rolling west Texas teardrops in my eye

I'm a-rolling on, I'm a-rolling on
Rolling out past El Paso Texas where I might have had a home
I made my bed, so here I lie
I'm rolling west Texas teardrops in my eye
And I'm rolling west Texas teardrops in my eye
And I'm rolling west Texas teardrops in my eye
