Alamo

[Verse 1]

Alamo, heard all about your fandango

Banged on my knees on your back door

Only to wake you to blues on the way

Blues on the way, blues on the way

[Verse 2]

Embarcadero, figures you’ll see me as older

Twenty-three hours till the border

Don’t think I’ll be going as fast as I came

Fast as I came, fast as I came

[Chorus]

Tears on my pillow, of course, they’re not mine

Alter that altar, making a play

Somebody invent the telephone line

I’ll take my chances

[Verse 3]

Alamo, wish I could do what gold does

Heard that the stars were in order

Got yourself dealt a hand with two queen of spades

And blues on the way, blues on the way

[Chorus]

Tears on my pillow, of course, they’re not mine

Alter that altar, making a play

Somebody just... somebody invent the telephone line

I’ll take my chances
