Out on the highway Where the big wheel's cutting through Who's going my way Won't me coming to you I'm in a bad way No need to lie to you [Chorus:] I'm going back to Sacramento And I wrote it on a cardboard sign I'm going back to Sacramento And I wrote it on a cardboard sign Back in Durango Where the women and [?] That's where a man goes With a gold rush on his mind Spent every penny
That I made down in the mine [Chorus] Oh, Luisa, you're making me leave ya I don't want to go Oh, Luisa, you're taking a piece of my heart So you know Oh, Luisa, you're making me leave ya Call me your man I won't go Out on the highway Where the big wheel's cutting through You're going my way Won't you put yourself in my shoes Been in a bad way Going home to heal my wounds [Chorus]
