Been 30 long days since the brawl down in San Antone
30 long days since the brawl down in San Antone

Pope been to Cuba and Maria's still on the phone
Say roll on greyhound
Junction to El Paso town
Roll on a greyhound
To junction to El Paso town

Don't need no noose for a necktie
no lasso for a crown

Lost in the rain
Last Sunday's
Just and ember
Lost in the rain
Last Sunday's
Just and ember

If I could only call
I might could lose these memories

Some fine day
I might return
For a day or two

Some fine day
I might return
For a day or two
Yea I might return for a day or two
When the dams shut down
And the mayors gone to Idalou

Roll on Greyhound
Junction to El Paso town
Roll on Greyhound
Junction to El Paso town

I don't need no noose for a necktie
Nor lasso for a crown
Lost in the rain
Lost sunday is just an ember to me
Lost in the ras is just an ember to me
Her lips were like a snow cone
Her mind like a chimney"
