Well The Roadmaps Of West Texas Never Gave Me Good Advice.
The Trains All Roll Where The Roads Don't Go, Now I Lay Awake At Night,
Just Wondering Where The Rest Is So I Hit That Iron Gate,
And I Yelled Good-bye To That Wife Of Mine, I May Be Running Late.

I'm A-rolling On, I'm A-rolling On,
Rolling Out Past El Paso Texas, Where I Might Have Had A Home.
I Made My Bed, So Here I Lie.
I'm Rolling West Texas Teardrops In My Eye.

Though I Felt A Lonesome Feeling In Dulce New Mexico,
I Was Happier Than I'd Ever Been In My El Paso Home.
But I Thought About The Woman Whom I Left To Roam The Land,
And I Cried So Much It Dug A Rut They Call The Rio Grande.

I'm A-rolling On, I'm A-rolling On,
Rolling Out Past El Paso Texas, Where I Might Have Had A Home.
I Made My Bed, So Here I Lie.
I'm Rolling West Texas Teardrops In My Eye.

And My Destination Is Written Upon My Feet,
And The Stars Above Are About The Only Company I Keep.
I Raise My Pass And Take My Seat.
I'm Rolling Fast With A Teardrop On My Cheek.

So I Guess There'll Be No Family, So I Guess There'll Be No Wife.
Gonna Roll Away On An Old Steel Dray, It's Gonna Be My Life.
And The Roadmaps I Been Reading, I Never Came To Figure Out.
All I Know Is I'd Explode By Any Other Route.

I'm A-rolling On, I'm A-rolling On,
Rolling Out Past El Paso Texas, Where I Might Have Had A Home.
I Made My Bed, So Here I Lie.
I'm Rolling West Texas Teardrops In My Eye.
