I'm going down to West Texas
Behind the Louisiana line
I'm going down to West Texas
Behind the Louisiana line
Get me a fortune telling woman
One that's gonna read my mind
If you ever go to Dallas
Take the right hand road
If you ever go to Dallas
Take the right hand road
Those western Dallas streets boys
They' bound to kill you for sure
I'm going down to Jack Rabbit's
Past the west Texas line
I'm going down to Jack Rabbit's
Behind the Texas line
Eh, they're the stars up above
Lord, it's mine, leavin' my sign
Well you never miss your water
'Til the well runs dry
An' you never miss your water
'Til the well runs dry
An' you never miss your man
'Til he says goodbye
You can write and tell my mama
I won't be comin' home tonight
You can write and tell my mother
I won't be home tonight
I'm going down, tell them road boys
I got to do it right
I'm going down to West Texas
Behind the Louisiana line
I'm going down to West Texas
Behind the Louisiana line
That fortune telling woman
Won't you let her really read my mind?
