The Mountain Goats - Jeff Davis County Blues lyrics

After three nights in jail I head north from Toyahvale Switch to 285 in Pecos Head up to Red Bluff My walk's real steady and my eyes are real But I feel like I'm all of 16 years old Lost in the Travelodge with the television on with the sound down I don't feel so tough Old issues of Sunset magazine to read Sleep for twelve hours and dream about home I have no place to go So I drive up to New Mexico Fix my eyes in the rear view When I cross the state line And I panic, I guess, and although it's quite late I take the first exit to 128 I am coming to Midland And I hope you won't mind Polaroids of the two of us Scattered on the pa**enger seat I drove slowly and evenly And I dream about home
