To Keep From Being Found

[Verse 1]

I bought myself a tall boy

And some cigarettes

I'm gonna climb into this old truck

And get as far as I can get

Go looking for a motel room

One with an actual key

The old kind

I used to find

Where you pay by the week

[Verse 2]

Gonna hang up a couple pictures

Above that rotary phone

The one on which I'm not expecting

Too many calls from home

Gonna find me a movie

One that makes me laugh

Roll around that old TV

So I can watch it in the bath

[Chorus]

I can't remember where I had my breakfast

Probably some old run-down diner

In a broken motor town

But I ain't ever going back to Texas

I'll pay the cost

Of bеing lost

Just to keep from being found

[Verse 3]

I really like my lawyеr

He's a hell of a guy

He spreads the love

And he ain't above

Watching a grown man cry

I don't have to worry

'Bout whose side he's on

He'll be my friend

Until the end

Or 'til the money's all gone

[Chorus]

I can't remember where I had my breakfast

Maybe Southeast Oklahoma

Or some backwoods Arky town

But I ain't ever going back to Texas

There's a girl down there in Texas

Who does not want me around

[Outro]

I ain't ever going back to Texas

I'll pay the cost

Of being lost

Just to keep from being found
