If you ever go out in west texas, boy, i want you to stop by abilene
If you ever go out in west texas, boy, i want you to stop over in abilene
Yes, you know it's some women there, man, they got a house all painted green
Well, i'm going out in west texas, boys, just to run out on the range
Well, i'm going out in west texas, boys. just to run out on the range
Yes, and that's so i can rope a streak of lightning, boys, head a shower of rain
Yes, you know 1 got a little woman, she lives up on the hill
She drinks her corn whiskey, man, it runs fast from the still
You know i got a little bitty woman, whoa, lord, she lives up on the hill
Yes, you know she drinks her corn whiskey, boy, run right from the still
