Wichita Falls Lyrics

Oil field town in a blood red sky
way out here that sun takes a long time to
die
just seventeen when the highway called
my mama said "boy don't send me no tears back to Wichita Falls"
Yeah broken white line led me away
down a lo-o-o-ng lonesome interstate
my boots move fast but my mind move slow
wherever easy money went I was gonna go

Chorus:

Now my poor mama cries for the trouble I'm in
but the law don't believe me it was self defense
her heart breaks down against these prison walls
there's a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls
there's a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls
Verse:

I was raised up that where God lost his shoes
turned that west Texas dust into big city blues
that city kid pushed me just a little too far
reckon I pushed back just a little too hard
Chorus:

Now my poor mama cries for the trouble I'm in
but the law don't believe me it was self defense
her heart breaks down against these prison walls
there's a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls

Now my poor mama cries for the trouble I'm in
but the law don't believe me mama hell it was self defense
my life sure don't mean much 'side these prison walls
'cept a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls
there's a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls
