Johnny Cash
"Rockabilly Blues (Texas 1955)"

(Johnny 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 singin' and they're dancin' but I'm feelin' Big D bad
I'm Sweetwater beat and I'm Texas City sad
The rhythm keeps me livin' but have you heard the news
There's a sad song singer comin' with the rockabilly blues
[ guitar ]
It's hard to keep on singin' when you're lonesome to the bone
Ten thousand 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
The rhythm keeps me livin'...
[ harmonica ]
It's the same old tune in Temple bout the lovin' I ain't had
I'm gettin' Beamont bitter and Amarillo mad
Givin' up on callin' you cause you're evading me
I'm coming home and if you're gone I'm gonna be Tennessee free
