I took a tour to Texas   And from Waco I called you   But day by day no answer   And I'm Big Bluebonnet blue      I'm singing and they're dancing   But I'm feeling Big D bad   I'm Sweetwater beat   And I'm Texas City sad      The rhythm keeps me living   But have you heard the news   There's a sad song singer coming   With the rockabilly blues      It's hard to keep on singing   When you're lonesome to the bon   10,000 happy people but I'm San Antone alone   One night stands and the man demands      That I get up and go   I'm Odessa desperate   And San Angelo low      The rhythm keeps me living   But have you heard the news   There's a sad song singer coming   With the rockabilly blues      It's the same old tune in Temple   About the loving I ain't had   I'm getting Beaumont bitter   And Amarillo mad      I'm giving up on calling you   'Cause you're evading me   I'm coming home and if you're gone   I'm gonna be Tennessee free      The rhythm keeps me living   And have you heard the news   There's a sad song singer coming   With the rockabilly blues
