Here I am, busted down and lookin'
Just across that Louisiana line
My baby's wakin' up in Forgan City
And i'm stuck in these east Texas pines

Had a cup of coffee in a cafe
Hoping it's a way to clear my mind
Set out for Abilene and I made it half way
Now i'm stuck in these east Texas Pines

Chorus:
Will he miss me, well i'll never know
'Cos when I get on track, I ain't lookin' back
I'm gonna take these wheels and roll

If I can find somebody new to help me
Maybe I can make up for lost time
But everyone's in church on Sunday morning
And i'm stuck in these east Texas Pines
