Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Down in Texas

I left you cryin' at the DC station

I had a little spendin' change, Lord knows I had determination

If you want the good life, you got to make it big

So I left you waiting, so I could go out and dig in this big old world.

But now I'm down in Texas, ain't got one thin dime

I'm so lonely for you, baby, so tired of wastin' my time

So come on down to get me, don't blame me 'cause I tried

I need your lovin' so bad, get on train and ride.

I've been up on rigs, high as you can see

They pay you like a half a man, girl, they work you like you're free

Here in the crowded city, you gotta steal to get along

So take me, pretty baby, take me back home ‘cause I'm so tired, yeah.

Now I'm down in Texas, ain't got one thin dime

I'm so lonely for you, baby, so tired of wastin' my time

So come on down to get me, don't blame me 'cause I tried

I need your lovin' so bad, get on train and ride.

Alright, now

I'm down in Texas, ain't got one thin dime

I'm so lonely for you, baby, so tired of wastin' my time

So come on down to get me, don't blame me 'cause I tried

I need your lovin' so bad, get on train and ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride.
