I took a tour to Texas And from Waco I called you But day by day, no answer And I'm Big Bluebonnet blue I'm singing and they're dancing But I'm feeling Big D bad I'm Sweetwater beat And I'm Texas City sad The rhythm keeps me living But have you heard the news There's a sad song singer coming With the rockabilly blues It's hard to keep on singing When you're lonesome to the bone Ten thousand happy people but I'm San Antone alone One night stands and the man demands That I get up and go I'm Odessa desperate And San Angelo low The rhythm keeps me living But have you heard the news There's a sad song singer coming With the rockabilly blues It's the same old tune in Temple About the loving I ain't had I'm getting Beaumont bitter And Amarillo mad I'm giving up on calling you 'Cause you're evading me I'm coming home and if you're gone I'm gonna be Tennessee free The rhythm keeps me living And have you heard the news There's a sad song singer coming With the rockabilly blues
