Adios, I heard me callin'
And I felt my spirit fallin'
'Til the warm desert wind picked me up
I've been lost in all four corners
Drifted over California
Leavin' shadows on the ground
Like clouds above
On my way through Arizona
I began to pinin' for you
Red rocks run the road beside me along my way
Just like me they like to travel
Won't sit still less than I do
I can't sit still 'til I get me back to you
Chorus:
Pick me up like some hitchhiker
Let me ride into the wild and blue
I don't care which way I'm goin'
Long as that's the way you're goin' too
I am the man with the travelin' teardrop blues
Angel wakes up on the mesa
In the air she makes her face up
With the pain of some red warrior in her eyes
In the dark behind a curtain
On a bed of lust I loved her
While she slept I left a tear to say good-bye
Chorus
I am the man with the travelin' teardrop blues.
