G
I took a tour to Texas and from Waco
I called you
But day by day no answer and
I'm big Bluebonnet blue
     C
I'm singing and they're dancing but
                    G
I'm feeling Big D bad
G                            D          G
I'm Sweetwater beat And I'm Texas City sad

Chorus:
      C
The rhythm keeps me living
     F                  G
But have you heard the news
           G
There's a sad song singer coming
          D          G
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 haven't had
I'm getting Beaumont bitter
And Amarillo mad
I'm giving up on calling you
Because you're evading me
I'm coming home and if you're gone
I'm going to be Tennessee free

Chorus
