Now honey I don't mind that mountain
That you tell me that I gotta climb
But baby I don't like them stones you put in my shoes

So maybe I'll just keep on walkin'
Tryin' to stay a step ahead of the blues
But darlin' I know we ain't never done payin' our dues

So bring me some bright-eyed angel
Keep on strummin' my guitar outta tune

Sundown's comin' 'round
Baby let's get chasin' that crazy west Texas moon

Well I had my fair share o' the women
And I drank my fill o' the wine
But still none of that can hide me from runnin' outta time

So come on six shotgun angel
Keep strummin' my guitar outta tune

Baby don't cry cause you knew I'd have to fly
I can't kiss them wide open spaces goodbye

Well I've been to the top of the Great Divide
Where the rain don't know which way to flow
Well there where the highway and the sky collide
My heart flew South for Mexico

So come on honky tonk angel
Strum another trail-blue tune
