Rockabilly Blues (Texas 1955) Lyrics
(Johnny Cash)
© '80 Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP
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 singin' and they're dancin' but I'm feelin' Big D bad
I'm Sweetwater beat and I'm Texas City sad
The rhythm keeps me livin' but have you heard the news
There's a sad song singer comin' with the rockabilly blues
[ guitar ]
It's hard to keep on singin' when you're lonesome to the bone
Ten thousand 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 livin'...
[ harmonica ]
It's the same old tune in Temple bout the lovin' I ain't had
I'm gettin' Beamont bitter and Amarillo mad
Givin' up on callin' 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 livin'...
