Heading for the Texas Border - Flamin' Groovies

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

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, there’s

With a 50 inch Chesire cat

to Texas

I do all the travelling, man

to Texas

I do all the travelling, man

Well, with that I’ll say good-bye, friend

Till I pass your way again

Well, I don’t know where I’m going

And I know I just don’t care

But I’ve got to keep on ramblin' 'fore I find my self somewhere

Where the sheriff knows the number

And the people, well, they know my kind

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

Unwind
