I work as a hand in San Saba
Fences and windmills to mend
I been out on a crew, eating tumbleweed stew
Three weeks in the rain and the wind
I got mud on my boots and blood on my money
And I'm looking to head into town
But as soon as my truck rounds the corner
That old deputy is a-staring me down
Where can a good man go crazy?
Where can a cowboy get stoned?
If I get a wild hair, to go off on a tear
I'm liable to end up alone
Nobody wants to run with me now
But I'm restless down to the bone
Where can a good man go crazy
Where can a cowboy get stoned?
Old man, are you listening?
'Cause I'm down here asking you
I know you made me this way
So what do you expect me to do?
* *Key Change - Up 2 Semitones * *
I drove out of town with my pay check
Bad snake blood running through my veins
Hooked up with a truckload of illegals
And a pocket full of cocaine
We had us some fun, now I'm on the run
And I won't be coming back soon
Just me and some 'ranged coyotes
Howling up at the cold desert moon
Where can a good man go crazy?
Where can a cowboy get stoned?
Nobody wants me hanging around
I guess I'll have to go it alone
I'll have to head down to the border
I guess and I don't know when I'll be back home
Where can a good man go crazy?
Where can a cowboy get stoned?
And if I don't ever make it back
You can carve this right on my tombstone
Where can a good man go crazy?
Where can a cowboy get stoned?
