Yeah it was a cool black night
Oh i remember it well
We was ridin'in the box
Lord it be cold as hell
Tryin to get ower the hamp be
Fore it snow
Body could freeze to death
No one ever know
We was headin' west
Just to go south
About this plan well
I had my doubts
Slim said he wanted first stop out in
Spokaloo
Said he knew a pretty little thing
And I think her name was lou
Oh I had a bad feelin'
Well we rolled into town
We was walkin' down the street
Oh I knew somethin' wrong I could
Feel the heat
Up come the police said
"welcome to out toun"
Hop in the back seat boys
Gon' show you 'round
Never ever go west
When you know you should be headin' south
Never ever whisper
When you know it's time to shout
Forteen days in the spokane city jail
When I got out, have mercy I was ready to sail
Captain said,"you learned your lesson boy?"
Have no doubt
Never ever go west
When you know you should be headin'
Never ever go west
When you know you should be headin'south
Never ever whisper
When you know it's time to shout
Never ever go west
When you know you should be headin'south
Never ever whisper
When you know it's time to shout
Oh i remember it well
We was ridin'in the box
Lord it be cold as hell
Tryin to get ower the hamp be
