Rain dripping off the brim of my hat Sure is cold today Here I am walking down 66th Wish she hadn't done me that way Sleeping under a table in a road side park A man could wake up dead But it sure seems warmer than it did Sleepin' in our king size bed Is anybody goin' to San Antone Or Phoenix Arizona? Anyplace is alright as long as I Can forget I've ever known her Wind whipping down the neck of my shirt Like I ain't got nothing on But I'd rather fight the wind and rain Than what I've been fighting at home Yonder comes a truck with the US mail People writing letters back home Tomorrow she'll probably want me back But I'll still be just as gone Is anybody goin' to San Antone Or Phoenix Arizona? Anyplace is alright as long as I Can forget I've ever known her
