Tucumcari Tonight

It’s a thousand miles from Nashvegas
The condition of the road is outrageous
I’ve been driving all day long
My desire is so damn strong
It’s been 50 days since I held my baby tight
Tucumcari tonight

She’s my circle around the sun
My one and only only one
My baby called me on the phone
Said she couldn’t stand to be alone
So I’m running wide open til about midnight
It’s Tucumcari tonight

She’s gonna be so happy
When I walk thru the door
I’m gonna love her the sun comes up
Then I’ll love her one time more
Cuz my baby knows when I get home
Everything’s gonna be alright
It’s Tucumcari Tucumcari tonight

Yeah I got them Highway 40 blues
Got ’em deep down in my shoes
I’m staying clear of the law
Half way across Arkansas
Cranked and wide awake
And my motors running right
It’s Tucumcari tonight
