Old 97's - W. TX Teardrops Lyrics
Well the roadmaps of west Texas
Never gave me good advice
The trains all roll where the roads don't go
Now I'm layin' awake at night
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
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
