Had myself a drink or two about a week ago nhow the hell I ended up here Lord I'll never know ncould've sworn I seen the wife just the other day ndon't see each other much but it's always been that way nnTexas plains whoever named 'em they sure got it right nI'm as bored as a twister running through the night nain't got no crowd to watch me as I bring the house down nso what the hell's the use of even coming round nnchorus:nEndless mountains call me now nthey want their favorite son ngot myself some leaking fuel nbut I'm still on the run nnJob it got the best of me so they kissed my ass goodbye ntown could not contain me put me on the other side ntracks had the same pennies on 'em from way back when nthat midnight train just flattened them again and again nn(chorus) nnHad myself settled down time and time again nbut them scrap books can't hold me down I always reach the end nDaddy rode the rails out of town during the strike of '62 nhe only looked back once, to say son you'll follow too nnMy brother took 'em through two states before they brought him down nhad himself a smile when the spread him on the ground nSheriff wiped his own brow and thrashed around for air nsaid I'll walk that son of a bitch myself to that electric chair nn(chorus) nnWell I'll watch the sun go down deep in that Texas sky nseems to take so long but I'm not one to ask why nI'll leave that shit to all those who�ve got the time nI was never raised to be the worrying kind nn(chorus)
