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]
