I rode out of Kansas City, going, south to Mexico. I was, running dodging danger,left the, girl that I loved so. Far behind lay Kansas City and the, past that I had earned.
I sold the farm to take my woman. Where she longed to be. We left our kin and all our friends. Back there in Tennessee. . I bought the one way tickets.
