Jacksboro Highway Lyrics - 70th Birthday Concert - John Mayall

Just outside of Fort Worth, Texas, one ninety-nine 

There's a rundown strip of night clubs, been there for a long, long time 

Get on, now, towards Jacksboro, do you see the neon flashin'? 

Hell, man, they got it all there, if you're lookin' for some action 

They got the Craps game at the Black Cat, strip tease at the Duce 

And over at the Skyline, it's always loud and loose 

The winos bummin', the rich folks slummin' 

Watch out, man 'cause the cops ain't comin' down to 

Jacksboro Highway, Jacksboro Highway 

Jacksboro Highway, there's always something goin' down 

You better watch your back, boy, you better cover your bets 

The further down that road you go, the rougher it's gonna get 

Remember standin' at the ? lounge 

Broken glass and blood on the ground 

Better forget every thing you see 

Even if it's murder in the first degree 

Out on Jacksboro Highway, Jacksboro Highway 

Out on Jacksboro Highway 

Always somethin' goin' down 

The winos bummin', the rich folks slummin' 

Watch out, man 'cause the cops ain't comin' to 

Jacksboro Highway, Jacksboro Highway 

Jacksboro Highway, there's always something goin' down
