I recall the days in Austin town when things went smooth & slow
Me & Travis drank too much & dreamed of Mexico
It was a time of broken hearts, broken dreams & broken parts
I recall the pleasure, I recall the pain
If I had to do it over I'd do it the same
So goodbye friends goodbye folks
I'm a gambling man just going for broke
Travelin' down that lonesome road
With a gas tank full of dreams

Days at the lake, nights on the town
I recall the smiles I recall the frowns
I recall the years I burned away
How I traded my youth for yesterdays
Late night philosophy, early morning prayer
I recall the words that flew through the air
We had beer for breakfast, wine for brunch
Whiskey for supper cocaine for lunch
So goodbye Travis, goodbye blue
Here's one last ballad for you
I'm travelin' down that lonesome road
Bandana full of dreams

The ladies were wild, free as you please
But you had to be careful cause they just might freeze
They could change like lightning, tear up your mind
Leave you broken, bloody and blind
There was a lot of love gained & lost
Some came free & some of it cost
Now live will kill ya if you don't look out
Believe I know what I'm talkin' about
So goodbye baby, goodbye blue
Here's one last romance for you
I'm travelin' down that lonesome road
I might see you in my dreams

Now everybody has his own WW2
Everybody has his share of the blues
Everybody has a reason to be mean
Dirty & desperate, nasty & lean
So just stay away, I don't need your blues
Pay your own way, pay your own dues
I don't have time, stay out of my way
Don't speak to me, I got nothin' to say
So goodbye bums, goodbye blue
Here's one last refrain for you
I'm travelin' down that lonesome road
With a suitcase full of dreams
