87 Southbound-Hancock (Hank III)
Well, I caught you with him   A     Bb    Bon those damn satin sheets,
So I packed my things and then I hit the streets.
87 Esouthbound to San AnBtone, it’s getting late out, I ain’t got no Ehome.
The pavements Eburning down at 9A2  
I don’t need to Ehear no more exBcuses that I don’t love Eyou.
Lord, the Esun keeps beating me Bdown and it’s hotter than Ehell.
And Bif I’m lucky I’ll catch a ride but Eyou can never tell.
I’d Arather be here with the bugs and flies than Eback there hearing your alibis
BHeard all that I’m gonna hear you say, I’m gonna take my pride and go the other Eway.
87 Esouthbound to San AnBtone, it’s getting late out, I’m 40 miles from Ehome,
The rain keeps Efalling like the tears in my Aeyes, 
I’m just trying to Ewash away all the Bhurt from all your Elies.
ELightning streaks aBcross the evening Esky 
and Bif I’m lucky I’ll make it big or Elay right down and die.
AI know when the morning comes I’m Egonna be a walking son of a gun.
And Bafternoon comes rolling around, I’ll have ten more miles and one more Etown.
87 Esouthbound to San AnBtone, it’s getting late out, I ain’t got no Ehome,
The pavements Eburning at 10A2.  
I don’t need to Ehear no more exBcuses that I don’t love Eyou.
I don’t need to Ehear no more exBcuses that I don’t love Eyou.
