If They Come Lookin'

Original

Well, I'm gonna pick you up in Edna's old pickup truck

We'll head down the Red River

Throw us a line or two, catch us a brown or blue

Get your wife a flathead dinner

And Denison boys get meaner just when them trees get greener

Soon as you cross them state lines

So if they come lookin', tell 'em I'm on the run again

Chasin' the sun again out of my mind

They come lookin', tell 'em that I died again

Crossin' state lines again, wishin' I was home

Boys hang around the bend, watch when you're crossin' them

They can smell a Sooner from a mile away

They sit with six-shooters on their chairs and their coolers

And forget them things work both ways

.38 caliber leads to a massacre

I was a traveler last May

I beat him so badly, had to hide out in Jersey

With my dog Jack and best friend Ray

So if they come lookin', tell 'em I'm on the run again

Chasin' the sun again out of my mind

If they come lookin', tell 'em that I died again

Crossin' state lines again, prayin' for more time

I'm gonna pick you up in Edna's old pickup truck

We'll head down the Red River

Throw us a line or two, catch us a brown or blue

Get your wife a flathead dinner
