Away Out There Songtext
von Bob Wills

All aboard this train
Heading for points northwest
Can almost hear the whistle boys
There she is, coming around that old curve now
Look at that old black smoke, Tommy
Yeah let′s get into this empty gondola here
You don't wait on me, boy
Look out Amarillo


A lonely spot I know where no man will go
Where the shadows have all the room
I was riding free on that old S.P
Humming a southern tune
When a man came along, made me hush my song
Kicked me off away out there
As she pulled out of sight, I turned to the right
The left and everywhere
All I could see was a cactus tree
Prairie dog playing there
I watched the prairie dog eat on the tumbleweed
That′s his home away out there

Stay with her, boys, stay with her, yes sir
Now Tommy, stick your head out the window boy
And watch them old riders roll
Sure will, Eddie
Second time

Then I threw down my load in that desert road
Rested my weary legs too
Watched the sinking sun make the tall shadows run
Across that barren plain
Then I hummed a tune to the rising moon
You get lonesome away out there
Then I closed my eyes to the starlit skies
Lost myself in dreams
Dreamed the desert sand was a milk and honey land
Then I woke up with the dawn
There's a train coming back on that one way track
Gonna take me away from here


All out for good old Amarillo
The land of good looking women
Been only one ugly one born in the past forty years in Amarillo
We buried her in a party twenty miles below town
Now ladies, don't forget your umbrella, packages and babies
All out for Amarillo, yes
