Don't feel like myself this evenin' Must be this old city air No I ain't been very too well Must be this old city air I been a spinnin' my wheels Don't think I'm goin' nowhere
Well I know my baby loves me She tells me all the time Yeah I know my baby loves me 'Cause she tells me all the time If that gal ever leave me I'm gonna lose my mind
(Chorus) I'm goin' west through Johnson City I'm leavin' town today I don't know where I'm headed How long I'm gonna stay I'm gonna cruise with my baby I'm gonna get on I-10 and drive I'm goin' west through Johnson City Me and that baby of mine
[Interlude] (ah, Miller time now) (ah, lemme hear you sing on Buddy)
Well some folks they entertain that That's the only savin' grace they know Yeah the liquor and wild women That's the only savin' grace they know All I need with me's my honey And a thousand miles of open desert road
I'm gonna get us away out yonder Underneath that starry sky I'm gonna get us away out yonder honey Underneath that starry sky I gotta life for livin' brother Gonna see it pass me by
