Lyrics for 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 [?] 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
