Tucumcari - Goodnight, Texas

Gonn' run away to Tucumcari

Make camp where the land is bare

Gonn' run away to Tucumcari

Ain’t no one gonna find me there

Ain’t no one gonna find me there

Found trouble in the town I come from

Left six months ago or so

I had to run from the man I wronged there

With no aim as to where to go

And I’m told that the law ain’t there yet

And the ones who tried are dead

If the lawmen come to find me

I’ll make that river red

I’ll make that river red

Gonn' run away to Tucumcari

Kick dust up the riverbed

In the shadow of the Spanish fortress

I’ll lay my weary head

To an Indian girl I’ll marry

On a calico horse we’ll ride

I won’t leave until I’m dead and buried

With the silver in the mountainside

Gonn' run away to Tucumcari

Kick dust up the riverbed

In the shadow of the Spanish fortress

I’ll lay my weary head

To an Indian girl I’ll marry

On a calico horse we’ll ride

I won’t leave until I’m dead and buried

With the silver in the mountainside

Gonn' run away to Tucumcari

Make camp where the land is bare

Gonn' run away to Tucumcari

Ain’t no one gonna find me there
