Lubbock

Like a tumble weed in
From a ghost town desert wind
He had a slow down south drawl
Rollin' right off his lips
Talkin' sweet as the bourbon on his breath ropin' me in
Swingin' open doors
Takin' me to places I shouldn't have been

But he was on his way to leavin'
He had secrets he was keepin'

There's somebody waitin' for him
To cinch his saddle up and come on home
There's somebody in the dark in the dust
That he never really left alone
Everybody heard the rumors
Everybody saw it comin'
He was gonna take off on the high horse he rode in
cnd head right back to Lubbock

Trouble came easy with
c lone star desperado
cnd wherever he left his boots
It just seemed to follow
Every time work brought him through town
It was hard to say no
Knowin' in the mornin' he'd have to go

There's somebody waitin' for him
To cinch his saddle up and come on home
There's somebody in the dark in the dust
That he never really left alone
Even though I heard the rumors
Even though I saw it comin'
He was gonna take off on the high horse he rode in
cnd head right back to Lubbock

Oo oo
I wonder what she thinks about every time he goes
I wonder if she knows

There's somebody waitin' for him
To cinch his saddle up and come on home
There's somebody in the dark in the dust
That he never really left alone
Maybe she heard the rumors
Maybe she saw it comin'
He was gonna take off on the high horse he rode in
