B-movie Boxcar Blues Lyrics - Delbert Mcclinton - Delbert Mcclinton

Caught a ride in South Dakota 

With two girls in a light blue Desoto 

One's names was Jane 

The other was plain 

But they both had racing motors 

Next I caught a ride with a gamblers wife 

She had a brand new laid down Rambler 

She parked outside of town 

And laid the rambler down 

And said she sure could dig it if I rode her 

I'm doing my best to get back to you 

Ain't nothing' I'd rather do 

Look for me someday 

I'm gonna be there, honey 

With something special just for you 

At a truck stop for toothpick and water 

Caught a ride with a fruit picker's daughter 

We drove into the night 

Said 'The fruit's just right' 

She said all I could eat for a quarter 

Next I caught a ride with a hobo woman 

Who said she was from Texas too 

The way she did what she did 

When she did, what she did to me 

Made me think of you 

Bet all my money on a race horse baby 

One they said can't lose 

Now I'm down here in the pouring rain 

Trying to get to you, Trying to get to you 

And I'm walking and I'm talking to myself 

And it's raining and I'm freezing to death 

Trying to get to you, trying to get to you
