(Robert Earl Keen)
|
It's a busted old town
|
On the plains of West Texas
|
The drugstore's closed down
|
The river's run dry
|
The semis roll through
|
Just like stainless steel stallions
|
Goin' hard
|
Goin' fast
|
Goin' wild
|
Rollin' hard
|
Rollin' fast
|
Rollin' by
|
|
The mission still stands
|
At the edge of the plateau
|
And a stone marks the graves
|
Where the old cowboys lie
|
Asleep in a time
|
In a town just a young man
|
Goin' hard
|
Goin' fast
|
Goin' wild
|
Rollin' hard
|
Rollin' fast
|
Rollin' by
|
|
The drive-in don't play
|
No Friday night picture
|
With no big silver screen
|
To light up the sky
|
And gone are the days
|
Of post-wartime lovers
|
Goin' hard
|
Goin' fast
|
Goin' wild
|
Rollin' hard
|
Rollin' fast
|
Rollin' by
|
|
And me I stand here
|
At the last filling station
|
While the wind moans a dirge
|
To a coyote's cry
|
And I'm back in my car
|
And I'm out on the highway
|
Goin' hard
|
Goin' fast
|
Goin' wild
|
