(Jim Hurt - Billy Nelson - Roy Clayborne)
I've been on the road most all of my life
Traveled from coast to coast
In search of some pleasures and treasures and things
Whatever pleased me the most.
Like bandanas and blue jeans and old cowboy clothes
That bring back an old country song
About rough rides and red eyes and old broken bones
And railroad tracks running back home.
Put me on a train back to Texas
I've been where the highwaymen roam
Put me on a train back to Texas
Wake me up when we reach San Antone.
Wake me up when we reach San Antone.
Mamma says home's where the heart is
Like Bob Wills said in a poem
My heart is there in the middle of Texas
Beside the old Alamo.
Like my broken in saddle and old leather boots
I'm worn but I'm still going strong
Cowboys can tell when the season is changing
And I think it's time to move on.
Put me on a train back to Texas
I've been where the highwaymen roam
Put me on a train back to Texas
Wake me up when we reach San Antone.
Wake me up when we reach San Antone...
