Lubbock
Bought this guitar in a pawn shop in Amarillo
For it I traded my watch and a woman I used to know
I play it up high in the Sangre de Cristas
down by a waterfall where the moonlight shone
Well I say I’m from Lubbock, but that ain’t it all
Truth is I was born in Missouri, trailer parks and beer halls
And the scar on my face ain’t from a bullet or a razor
Just a mark that was made from the hate in my soul
Chorus:
Aye-yi-yi
Pretend me that I am a cowboy
Aye-yi-yi
Won’t you bury me in Lubbock when I go.
Once knew a woman traded heroes for horses
Held her one winter through the pills and the weight
We paid 1200 dollars on a gray El Camino
We took turns driving that piece of shit, and changing the plates.
Chorus
Now on Saturday nights I play steel with some weirdos
We do outrageous covers, we drink beer half the night
Then I’m out like a light, till Mona comes wakes me
She comes in tender and warm, she says “Baby, you’re all right”
Chorus
