Caught me a bus early today
Hours before my dinner time
Packed my case on the early shift
And I left this shack behind
Oh I said I left this shack behind

You may think I done wrong
The police may think so too
But I´m sick and tired of this crumbling life
I said I´m doing what I gotta do
Lord I said I´m doing what I gotta do

chorus
Say goodbye to Rachael Anne
Tell her that I had to go
Tell her she can borrow my tractor if she wants
All the way down to El Paso
Singin´ all the way down, all the way down to El Paso

People there, so I´ve been told
Treat you like a man
Who don´t creep ´round your house at night
Or mutilate your lambs
Oh I said, mutilate your lambs

[repeat chorus]

Rachael Anne, if you can
You´ll know where to find me
Follow the tracks I left back there
All along the highway
Lord I said all along the highway

[repeat chorus]
