[Chorus]
        Hey WEillie let's pack up and Acatch us a slow train
        DAnd go back to Phoenix to a fGar brighter day
        Where stEars were for shining in the AArizona sky
        DAnd music meant more than fortune or fGame
[Verse 1]
        WC/Gillie,we wandered from Gborder to border
        DSinging our stories and lGiving our songs
        Seems the C/Gfarther we go,Gall that grows closer
        Is a mAind full of memories we mDade years ago
[Verse 2]
        We C/Grolled through the towns like a Gbus load of gypsies
        DMotels and hotels ain't Gno place to stay
        The C/Gfavors we're takingG,the money we're making
