San Antone

(Is Anobody Going To San Antone)

Dave Kirby, Glen Martin

Doug Sahm and Band session, Atlantic Studios, NYC - 10.oct.1992 

This is a song now about my hometown... 

Rain drippin' off the brim of my hat, it sure looks cold today
Here I am a-walkin' down 66, wish she hadn't done me this way.

Sleepin' under a table in a roadside park, a man could wake up dead
But it sure seemed warmer than it did sleepin' in my king-size bed. 

Is anybody goin' to San Antone or Phoenix, Arizona?
Any place is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her.

Wind whippin' down the neck of my shirt like I aint got nothin' on
But I'd rather fight the wind and rain than what I was fightin' at home. 

Is anybody goin' to San Antone or Phoenix, Arizona?
Any place is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her.

Yonder goes a truck with the U.S. mail for people writin' letters back home
Well, tomorrow she'll want me back again and I'll be just as gone. 

Is anybody goin' to San Antone or Phoenix, Arizona?
Any place is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her.
