[Verse 1] I took a tour to Texas and from Waco I called you But day by day no answer and I’m big Bluebonnet blue I’m singing and they’re dancing but I’m feeling Big D bad I’m Sweetwater beat And I’m Texas City sad [Chorus] The rhythm keeps me living But have you heard the news There’s a sad song singer coming With the rockabilly blues [Verse 2] It’s hard to keep on singing when you’re lonesome to the bone 10000 happy people but I’m San Antone alone One night stands and the man demands that I get up and go I’m Odessa desperate and San Angelo low [Chorus] The rhythm keeps me living But have you heard the news There’s a sad song singer coming With the rockabilly blues [Verse 3] It’s the same old tune in Temple about the loving I ain’t had I’m getting Beaumont bitter and Amarillo mad I’m giving up on calling you ’cause you’re evading me I’m coming home and if you’re gone I’m gonna be Tennessee free [Chorus] The rhythm keeps me living But have you heard the news There’s a sad song singer coming With the rockabilly blues
