(Michael Timmins)
2
You're clean as a widow woman's washboard, son,
3
stick it in the wind
4
Put the mountains to your back
5
the great plains on your grille
6
time to take a little spin
7
Boulder looks like the type of town
8
that I could spend some time,
9
but in Houston they got our name in lights
10
You're clean as a widow woman's washboard, son,
11
the slab is yours tonight
12
Townes is in the back lounge
13
with his hands in his pocket
14
pulls out two dice and says, 'Let's get at it'
15
Salina in the headlights, snake eyes on the floor,
16
Al drops another twenty, Pete heads for the door,
17
Springer's feeling lucky, sits down for a spell,
18
Oklahoma City and he's lost his last bill
19
Jeff is in a bind waiting on sister hicks
20
seven comes a-calling
21
as we cross on into Texas
22
Townes is in the back lounge
23
with a fist full of fives
24
he says, 'It's a little bit long
25
but I'm enjoying this ride'
26
Be careful with the dice
27
when you're surrounded by others
28
with boxcars in their eyes
29
Never count your winnings at hour 23
30
of a 24-hour drive
31
Remember that you're not the one
32
calling the tune
33
that's making those diamonds dance
34
or you'll be clean as
35
a widow woman's washboard, son,
36
and those are the facts
37
Townes is in the back lounge cursing at them bones
38
he says, 'Ain't this fool ever heard of Raton'
