West Texas Highway Lyrics - Lyle Lovett

Now I was driving down 

A West Texas highway 

I saw a hitchhiker 

And his thumb was pointing my way 

He didn't look suspicious 

And he didn't look any too clean 

I put on my brakes 

And I opened my door 

I could tell he was a bum 

By the muddy boot he wore 

He said I'm going down to Haskell 

Got a woman down in Abilene

He said East Texas 

Is where I come from 

I was working a rodeo out there 

And it sure got humdrum 

So I'm just traveling around 

A whole lot of Texas I've seen 

I'm mighty glad 

You were going my way 

In your brand new clothes there 

And your great big Chevrolet 

I'm going down to Haskell 

Got a woman down in Abilene 

Well he was grinning like a possum 

And a mighty happy rascal 

And he waved good-bye 

When I let him out in Haskell 

And that's about the last 

Of that old road tramp 

I ever did see

To this very day 

That he had my clothes 

And my big Chevrolet 

And it was me going to Haskell 

With a woman down in Abilene
