The Road to Terlingua Lyrics

Just outside of San Antone, stopped at a joint for some shots of Patron

Listening to the freight trains lettin' off steam

Broken bottles and a kicked in fan, never takes long for things to get out of hand

Didn't give a damn, we were just ready to roll

Old man said, you boys have had your fill, get you a room, settle up on the bill

Things went south when they tried to take my keys

We were raised better, we knew wrong from right

Daddy taught us never to run from the fight

Started throwing down in the middle of the street

Don't tell mama, she don't need to know

We drank too much tequila

On the road to Terlingua, we laid that peddle down

Old man said, these boys ain't got no sense

Flash of life, full of regrets

When he looked in their eyes and felt the yearning for the open road

Jumped in the truck and we got out of sight

Cloud of dust, tail lights in the night

Thought we were free, then we saw those flashing lights

Don't tell mama, she don't need to know

We drank too much tequila

On the road to Terlingua, we laid that peddle down

We drank too much tequila

On the road to Terlingua, we laid that peddle down

We laid that peddle down

Don't tell mama, she don't need to know

We drank too much tequila

Don't tell mama, we drank too much tequila

She don't need to know

On the road to Terlingua, we laid that peddle down

She don't need to know

On the road to Terlingua
