Headin' for the Texas Border

Heading for the Texas border

'Cause I'm trying to avoid the law

Heading for the Texas border

'Cause I'm trying to avoid the law

When I pull right into Houston

Gonna see ya my ma and pa

And I'll tell them fancy stories

'Bout all them cities I have seen

And I'll tell them fancy stories

'Bout all them cities I have seen

Well, all away from New York City

Down to, I said a-New Orleans

But I won't tell 'bout the heartache

And I won't tell 'bout the pain

And I won't tell 'bout the times I had to sleep out in the rain

Well, I'm going to El Paso to get my mojo pressed

Then I'll pack my bags and head out for the North West

I got a gal in Dallas

I got a gal in Yucca Flats

I got a gal in Dallas

I got a gal in Yucca Flats

Well, then there's old Sally from the Valley

With a 50-inch Chesire cat

Well, with this drink, I toast to Texas

And to all the traveling men

With this drink, I toast to Texas

And to all the traveling men

Well, with that I'll say goodbye, friend

'Til I pass your way again

Well, I don't know where I'm goin'

And you know that I just don't care

But I've got to keep on ramblin'

Lord, gonna find myself somewhere

Where the sheriff knows the number

And the people don't know my kind

So, I'll hit the road the way a travellin' man can

Unwind
