Asleep At The Wheel
"Way Down Texas Way" lyrics

Way Down Texas Way

Adios, goodbye amigos
I am leaving you today
Ain't nobody around this town
That's gonna miss me anyway
This old money making's taking
All the time I have to play
Mama hush your mouth, I'm heading south
Way down Texas way

Way down Texas way
They play good music every night
And the dance hall rings with laughter
Till the early morning light
When them cowboys get through picking
There's not much that's left to say
But you can really have a good time, honey
Way down Texas way

The road of life is paved
With good intentions I am told
So I best be on my way now
Or I may not ever go
Ain't no need to be a begging me
To stay just one more day
This old wild goose is cutting loose
Way down Texas way

Way down Texas way
They play fiddle music every night
And the dance hall rings with laughter
Till the early morning light
When them cowboys get through picking
There's not much that's left to say
You can really have a good time, sugar
Way down Texas way
Way down Texas way
