Now I was driving down
A west texas highway
I saw a hitchhiker
And his thumb was pointing my way
He didn't look suspicious
And he didn't look any too clean
I put on my brakes
And I opened my door
I could tell he was a bum
By the muddy boot he wore
He said I'm going down to haskell
Got a woman down in abilene
He said east texas
Is where I come from
I was working a rodeo out there
And it sure got humdrum
So I'm just traveling around
A whole lot of texas I've seen
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/lyle-lovett-west-texas-highway-lyrics.html ]
I'm mighty glad
You were going my way
In your brand new clothes there
And your great big chevrolet
I'm going down to haskell
Got a woman down in abilene
Well he was grinning like a possum
And a mighty happy rascal
And he waved good-bye
When I let him out in haskell
And that's about the last
Of that old road tramp
I ever did see
But I'm still wishing
To this very day
That he had my clothes
And my big chevrolet
And it was me going to haskell
With a woman down in abilene
A west texas highway
I saw a hitchhiker
And his thumb was pointing my way
He didn't look suspicious
And he didn't look any too clean
I put on my brakes
And I opened my door
I could tell he was a bum
By the muddy boot he wore
He said I'm going down to haskell
Got a woman down in abilene
He said east texas
Is where I come from
I was working a rodeo out there
And it sure got humdrum
So I'm just traveling around
A whole lot of texas I've seen
