Put Me on a Train Back to Texas

(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...
