(J.R. Cash)







I took a tour to Texas



And from Waco I called you



But day by day no answer



And I'm Big Bluebonnet blue



I'm singing and they're dancing



But I'm feeling Big D bad



I'm Sweetwater beat



And I'm Texas City sad







[Chorus]



The rhythm keeps me living



But have you heard the news



There's a sad song singer coming



With the rockabilly blues







It's hard to keep on singing



When you're lonesome to the bone



10,000 happy people but I'm San Antone alone



One night stands and the man demands



That I get up and go



I'm Odessa desperate



And San Angelo low







[Chorus]







It's the same old tune in Temple



About the loving I ain't had



I'm getting Beaumont bitter



And Amarillo mad



I'm giving up on calling you



'Cause you're evading me



I'm coming home and if you're gone



I'm gonna be Tennessee free







[Chorus]
