“Down in Texas” (E. Hinton)

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 a 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 a 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 a train and ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
