Don't feel like myself this evenin'
Must be this old city air
No I ain't been very too well
Must be this old city air
I been a spinnin' my wheels
Don't think I'm goin' nowhere
Well I know my baby loves me
She tells me all the time
Yeah I know my baby loves me
'Cause she tells me all the time
If that gal ever leave me
I'm gonna lose my mind
(Chorus)
I'm goin' west through Johnson City
I'm leavin' town today
I don't know where I'm headed
How long I'm gonna stay
I'm gonna cruise with my baby
I'm gonna get on I-10 and drive
I'm goin' west through Johnson City
Me and that baby of mine
[Interlude]
(ah, Miller time now)
(ah, lemme hear you sing on Buddy)
Well some folks they entertain that
That's the only savin' grace they know
Yeah the liquor and wild women
That's the only savin' grace they know
All I need with me's my honey
And a thousand miles of open desert road
I'm gonna get us away out yonder
Underneath that starry sky
I'm gonna get us away out yonder honey
Underneath that starry sky
I gotta life for livin' brother
Gonna see it pass me by
(Repeat Chorus)
