Keen Robert Earl - Goin' Down in Style lyrics

I left Houston, Texas on a Gulf Coast Hurricane I was blown down by tornadoes, washed up by the rain Well my pappy wasn't happy with me, he told me to go So I stole my daddy's Cadillac, and I headed down the road I had a grin from ear to ear with each and every mile I'm headed for the border man, I'm goin' down in style. Well I hit Corpus Christi, and the wind was at my back I drove them women crazy in my daddy's Cadillac I'd cruse them down the boulevard, treated them like queens I took them all the places that they wanted to been seen And when I had to leave them, I'd tell them with a smile I'm headed for the border, man I'm goin' down in style Well, you've got to take your chances if they ever come along Close your eyes and listen to that great big engine wind And it down really matter, whether you are right or wrong Cause when you cross the border yeah you leave this world behind I stomped down on the pedal, I set the cruise control Five hundred raging horses blew on by the state patrol Yeah, there sirens were screaming, Lord the lights were flashing red A dozen more were waiting at the road block up ahead I scattered them like chickens, I heard one of them cry "He's headin' for the border man, he's goin' down in style." Yeah when you cross the border you ain't ever coming back And there ain't no redemption when the cops are on your tail The closest thing to heaven, is the great big Cadillac The city lights of Houston, or the fiery gates of hell They nabbed me on the hill that overlooks the Rio Grande I'm feeling just like Moses looking at the promise land They hauled me back to Houston, they threw me into jail My momma started crying when my daddy paid the bail I'm sorry I'm not there to hear the outcome of my trial I'm headed for the border man, I'm goin' down in style
