Here I am, just riding in my black pick-up truck
heading down the road hoping I’ll run into some luck
but I don’t know most likely I’ll just run right out of gas
‘cause over me a shadow has been cast
now you tell me you won’t be seeing me no more
you packed your bags and you’re headed out the door
you say you’re looking for something you ain’t found
I doubt you’ll find it in this dusty old town
Here I am, just a-wondering what the hell I’m gonna do
well first I lost my farm and now I’m losing you
I cannot say I blame you for all the things you feel
but somehow I got the short-end of the deal
and now I’m begging you, babe please don’t leave this way
you shake your head and tell me there’s nothing left to say
who will I talk to baby, when you’re not around
you are the only one I know In this dusty old town
Here I am, just a sitting with my stray dog and a case of beer
there’s really not much going on, there never is ‘round here
sometimes we take a ride up yonder to the canyon road
that dog ain’t never left, so I named him,”Alamo”
as I walk the fields I think about you still
I wish you’d come back but you probably never will
and I would tell you even if you came around
there’s no way I’m ever gonna leave this dusty old town
Well I’m swinging on the porch
I figured her out
the road to me is just a symbol of my doubt
so I took that lonely road
followed it out of town
but since I left you baby things are looking down
Oh sweet baby, I know I told some lies
I know I made you cry
your love to me was like a flame
the fire’s out and I’m to blame
for leaving you so cold and far behind
just a memory in my mind
I stopped in Amarillo
God, I needed a drink
the Texas heat was like a weight, I could not think
the bar-maid had your features
my heart broke in two
I was determined just to drink away these blues
Next thing I remember
woke up with a knife in my hand
the bar-maid’s screaming at me
she says I killed her man
Oh sweet baby, now look at what I’ve done
now I’m on the run
please tell me that it’s just a dream
or a drive-in movie picture screen
I know that it’s just the fate I’ve drawn
without you I just can’t go on
Now I’m up in McAlester
been doing some time
but not for long because I’m on that killin’ line
I wish that I could see you
maybe you’d understand
some times the sense runs right out of the common man
Oh sweet baby, you’re gonna make me cry
and now I’m gonna die
aw baby won’t you forgive me
though I’m just a haunting memory
please find it baby, in your heart to try
now I wish you sweet goodbye
