(Original by Gram Parsons)
2
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
3
And welcome me back to town
4
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor
5
And I'll show you how it all went down
6
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
7
And a good saloon in every single town
8
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
9
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
10
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
11
And they all lead me straight back home to you
12
'Cause I headed west to grow up with the country
13
Across those prairies with the waves of grain
14
And I saw my devil,
15
And I saw my deep blue sea
16
And I thought about a calico bonnet from
17
Cheyenne to Tennessee
18
We flew straight across that river bridge,
19
Last night at half past two
20
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye
21
And so long as we went rolling through
22
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
23
And now I know just what I have to do
24
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
25
He wants to take my money for something
26
That I've never been shown
27
And I saw my devil,
28
And I saw my deep blue sea
29
And I thought about a calico bonnet from
30
Cheyenne to Tennessee
31
The news I could bring I met up with the king
32
On his head an amphetamine crown
33
He talked about unbuckling that old Bible belt
34
And lighted out for some desert town
35
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
36
And a good saloon in every single town
37
Oh, but I remembered something you once told me
38
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
39
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
40
And they all lead me straight back home to you
41
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
42
And they all lead me straight back home to you
