West Texas - Bob Dylan

I’m going down to West Texas

Behind the Louisiana line

I’m going down to West Texas

Behind the Louisiana line

Get me that fortune telling woman

Want to let her gonna read my mind

If you ever go to Dallas

Take the right hand road

If you ever go to Dallas

Take the right hand road

For wasting down the street boys

Is bound to kill ya for sure

I’m going down to Jackson River

Past that West Texas line

I’m going down to Jackson River

Behind that West Texas line

If there’s a star up above

Lord it’s mine, leading my sign

Well you never miss your water

Till the well runs dry

And you never miss your water

Till the well runs dry

And you never miss your man

Till he says goodbye

You can ride and tell my mama

I won’t be coming home tonight

You can ride and tell my mother

I won’t be home tonight

I’m going down the road boys

I’ve got to do it right

I’m going down to West Texas

Behind the Louisiana line

I’m going down to West Texas

Behind the Louisiana line

That fortune telling woman

Won’t you let her really read my mind?
