Well he finally hopped an old freight
He lit a smoke in the pouring rain
Said this town's probably had enough of me
I reckon it's time that I leave
Said he's headed down to Fort Worth
He's going to sing for all he's worth
And if you don't like his sound or the way that he plays
He don't give a f*ck and you will hear him sing

If I wanted Nashville I would of drug up and left
I've quit everything besides cigarettes
But a suit and tie ain't no friend of mine
That's why Johnny left he quit walking the line
They said that Luke The Drifter took too many pills
They didn't like his songs or the way that he felt
So what makes you think they'll be good to me
I'm going out like Townes in history

Well he finally got to Austin
A place he'd think about often
He remembers the stories of ol' Blaze Foley
Wishing he could only fly
He's gonna feed all the pigeons some clay
He's gonna talk once he knows what to say
Well he got kicked out of every bar that was in town
And before his last set you could hear him shout

If I wanted Nashville I would of drug up and left
I've quit everything besides cigarettes
But a suit and tie ain't no friend of mine
That's why Johnny left he quit walking the line
They said that Luke The Drifter took too many pills
They didn't like his songs or the way that he felt
So what makes you think they'll be good to me
I'm going out like Townes in history
