West Texas Highway lyrics

Now I was driving down a West Texas highway
I saw a hitchhiker and his thumb was pointing my way
He didn't look suspicious
He didn't look any too clean

So I put on my brakes and I opened my door
Could tell he was a bum by the muddy boot he wore
He said, "I'm going down to Haskell
Got a woman down in Abilene"

He told me, "Son, East Texas is where I come from
I've been riding that Jacksonville rodeo and I got humdrum
I'm traveling around
A whole lot of Texas I've seen"

Yes and I'm mighty glad you was pushing down my way
Your fancy clothes and this shiny Chevrolet
Yes I'm going down to Haskell
Got a woman back in Abilene

You know he was grinning like a possum and mighty happy rascal
He waved good-bye when I let him out in Haskell
And that's about the last of that
Road tramp that I've ever seen

But you know that I'm still wishing to this very day
That he had my clothes and this shiny Chevrolet
And it was me going to Haskell
With a woman in Abilene

You know that I'm still wishing to this very day
That he had my clothes and this big Chevrolet
And it was me going to Haskell
With a woman back in Abilene
