Oh take me back to Atascosa County These city lights are getting to my head And I'll leave this town like I got a bounty If I stay here tonight I'll be dead Because I'm tired of the East and this slanted old concrete Oh the train howls at night when I don't get much sleep And oftentimes I'll wonder where them old tracks lead Will they take my ass more South than East Oh take me back to Atascosa County These city girls are messing with my head Oh they never seem to leave me how they found me If I stay here tonight I'll be dead Because I'm tired of the East and this life of gasoline The train howls at night when I don't get much sleep And oftentimes I'll wonder where them old tracks lead Will they take me back to Atascosa County
