Well, when I pull right into Houston,

 n/                          
  Gonna see my Ma and Pa


         

                                
And i'll tell those fancy stories,

                               
     
      'Bout the cities I  have  seen


         


                            
And i'll tell those fancy stories,

                               
     
      'Bout the cities I  have  seen


         


                                  
Well, all away from New York cityyyy

Well, I won't tell 'bout the heart-ache,

        
Well, I won't tell 'bout the pain,

                                           
Well, I won't tell 'bout the times I had to sleep out in the rain.

          
Well, i'm going to El Paso,

I said a to the girls of Texas,

                                 
  
     I do all the travelling, man.

         


                                       
And, i'll come, i'll pinch your money,
  n/                          
Till I pass your way again.

         


        
Well I, don't know where i'm going,

      
And I know I just don't care,

                                         
But I've got to keep on ramblin', 'fore I find my self somewhere

                                
Where i'm sure i've got my number,

                             
And folks, they know my kind,

                         
But, i'll Blow your mind, blow your mind.


Unwind!
