Well I'm gonna pick you up
in Edna's old pickup truck
We'll head down
the Red River
Throw us a line or two
Catch us a brown or blue
Get your wife
a flathead dinner
Them Denison boys
get meaner just when
them trees get greener
Soon as you cross
them state lines
So if they come lookin'
tell 'em I'm on the run again
Chasin' the sun again
out of my mind
They come lookin'
tell 'em that I died again
Crossin' state lines again
wishin' I was home
Boys hang around the bend
watch when you're
crossin' them
They can smell a Sooner
from a mile away
They sit with six-shooters
on their chairs
and their coolers
And forget them things
work both ways
38 caliber leads
to a massacre
I was a traveler last May
I beat him so badly
had to hide out in Jersey
With my dog Jack
and best friend Ray
So if they come lookin'
tell 'em I'm on the run again
Chasin' the sun again
out of my mind
If they come lookin'
tell 'em that I died again
Crossin' state lines again
prayin' for more time
Well I'm gonna pick you up
in Edna's old pickup truck
We'll head down
the Red River
Throw us a line or two
Catch us a brown or blue
Get your wife
a flathead dinner
