Down in Texas Songtext

von Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I left you cryin' at the DC station
I had a little spendin' change, Lord knows I had determination
If you want the good life, you got to make it big
So I left you waiting, so I could go out and dig in this big old world.

But now I'm down in Texas, ain't got one thin dime
I'm so lonely for you, baby, so tired of wastin' my time
So come on down to get me, don't blame me 'cause I tried
I need your lovin' so bad, get on train and ride.

I've been up on rigs, high as you can see
They pay you like a half a man, girl, they work you like you're free
Here in the crowded city, you gotta steal to get along
So take me, pretty baby, take me back home ‘cause I'm so tired, yeah.

Now I'm down in Texas, ain't got one thin dime
I'm so lonely for you, baby, so tired of wastin' my time
So come on down to get me, don't blame me 'cause I tried
I need your lovin' so bad, get on train and ride.

Alright, now
I'm down in Texas, ain't got one thin dime
I'm so lonely for you, baby, so tired of wastin' my time
So come on down to get me, don't blame me 'cause I tried
I need your lovin' so bad, get on train and ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride.
