lyrics

One time I was in Houston just barely passing through.
The lawman said I had better keep right on the move.
He said "There's no room in this here town for a rounder like you."
So I headed West for a better place where skies are always blue.

To San Antone, I made my way back to San Antone.

When I was in El Paso I met a pretty girl.
I gave her my love and I promised her the world,
But she said she would rather I left her alone
So I just shrugged, packed my bags and I headed right back home.

To San Antone, I made my way back to San Antone.

And though I am a thousand miles away
Burnt up and strung out on the road
I know the bright lights of this starry night sky
Are shining in the eyes of the one I love
