About Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone

"Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone" is a song written by Glenn Martin and Dave Kirby, and recorded by American country music artist Charley Pride. It was released in February 1970 as the first single from the album Charley Pride's 10th album. "Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone" was Charley Pride's third number one in a row on the country charts. The single spent two weeks at number one and a total of 16 weeks on the country chart. Charley's manager, Jack D. Johnson, was given a demonstration tape of this song and rewrote it, changing the chords, lyrics, and arrangement to better fit his client, Charley Pride. Charley recorded and made this rewrite his third number-one hit. Jack did not take songwriter's credit, as he was working for the success of his client. Jack wrote other songs, including "Too Hard To Say I'm Sorry", also sung by Charley Pride, cowritten with Jack Clement. Nancy Sinatra recorded a version of the song which was featured on the B-side of her 1971 single, "Hook And Ladder". The song was included on her 2009 digital collection, Cherry Smiles: The Rare Singles. more »

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
