I took a tour to Texas
And from Waco I called you
But day by day no answer
And I'm Big Bluebonnet blue
I'm singing and they're dancing
But I'm feeling Big D bad
I'm Sweetwater beat
And I'm Texas City sad
The rhythm keeps me living
But have you heard the news?
There's a sad song singer coming
With the rockabilly blues
It's hard to keep on singing
When you're lonesome to the bone
Ten thousands 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
The rhythm keeps me living
But have you heard the news?
There's a sad song singer coming
With the rockabilly blues
It's the same old tune in Temple
About the loving I ain't had
I'm getting Beaumont bitter
And Amarillo mad
Giving up on calling you
Cause you're evading me
I'm coming home
And if you're gone
I'm gonna be Tennessee free
The rhythm keeps me living
And have you heard the news?
There's a sad song singer coming
With the rockabilly blues
