(Words/music by Danny O'Keefe). . Everybody's gone away,. Said they're movin' to L.A.. There's not a soul I know around,. Everybody's leavin' town. . Some caught a freight, some caught a plane.
I just left San Antonio. Heading down to the town of Laredo. Got my mind on the border of Mexico. . Gonna stop for a tank off. To go at a place called a Purple Sombrero.
