well I left Amarillo in a thunder storm when he came looking for me I was out in Van Horn topped off both my tanks and put the hammer down ain't no way in hell I'm goin' back to that town talk about the promised land I ain't seen it yet they say one man's promise is another man's threat I took I-25 north to the mother road west drove nine hundred seventy miles before I could rest she met me in the Amboy parking lot we got a trailer out there she's all I've got well the rattlesnakes they're afraid of me and the promised land ain't what it used to be it don't rain don't snow and the grass don't grow I got a single wide a waterline and my baby I got a single wide a waterline and my gal

Eleanor 03:45
woke up in a stranger's bed looking for my pants and boots I can see I'm in trouble again just a cheatin' fool on the loose my mind's a spinning wheel lies are my chosen thread she'll believe just what I say or I might as well be dead Eleanor will you love me if I keep on drinkin' Do you like the company that i been keepin' Do I love you for your beauty Eleanor or is it 'cause you own the liquor store back home in dirty deuce nine with the swamp cooler on in the dark piecing my story together about my night in the park way, way out on the trail too far before the sun went down no flashlight to guide me while the wind and the coyotes howled I'm a stranger in my own bed wishing I had Eleanor I can see I'm in trouble again with the slam of my front door

Albuquerque 03:34
you said your sister called last night she threw a punch and started a fight you said you had to go and make her bail pick her up at the county jail well I filled the tank and sent you off like so many times before your tail lights fading into the night I wouldn't see you again til morning light you said you went to Albuquerque but you smell like Old Milwaukee next time I heard you on the phone you seemed to think you were alone the whispers and the laughs you said it's time to take a chance well the story that you told was as tall as it was old all my dreams are falling from the sky I know this will be our last goodbye

Broken Town 03:16
I'm breaking down in broken town could use a hand ain't nobody 'round ain't looking up 'cause I'm looking down breaking down in broken town the dust blows in then it blows away but the broken hearts come here to stay gonna put down roots in broken town sell my car and walk around there's a dry lake bed on the edge of town i might go there and watch the sun go down ain't no place left to hang around the bars all closed and the train left town I'm breaking ground in broken town you might find me six feet under ground I can see her smile when I close my eyes coming down the stairs in her wedding gown it's been so long that I been bound for breaking down in broken town

we tried to stay together well it seemed that way to me there's a pale ring on my finger where a wedding band used to be now the jukebox plays our favorite song I'll cry and cry when I get home I'm three sheets to the wind alone again it makes no sense to call it the game of love for each one is a loser when it comes undone the only winner is the blue ribbon beer in my hand there's a wet ring on the counter where I set my new best friend now the jukebox plays a drinkin' song I'll stumble home and sing along I'm three sheets to the wind alone again

There's a dead man in the water a radio in the tub looks like an accident unexpected heart attack he swore to walk the line but always let her down she went out for cigarettes and never came back on the highway in the Desert Air Motel there's a blood stain on the wash rag and a little bar of soap it's time to come to Jesus calls the TV preacher man she gave up salvation so long ago no tomorrow forget about the past she takes off the paper from the sanitized glass if the Old Crow can't do it then the Wild Turkey will she went out for cigarettes and never came back
