Drivin' through Texas
Down from New Orleans
I'm spending all my money
By gasoline
I'm hiding in the shadows
Running from the law
Drivin' through Texas
Bound for Mexico
Jealous heart of man
A woman that lies
It ended with a bullet
Right between the eyes
Yesterday the sheriff
Was banging' on the door
I'm drivin' through Texas
Bound for Mexico
Send a letter to my mother
A message from a son
Livin' with the finger
On the trigger of a gun
Mama, don't you worry
And don't you cry no more
I'm drivin' through Texas
I'm bound for Mexico.
